(Video) XBox 360 Laptop

That's right, Ben Heck has done it again, this time he's built a custom XBox 360 laptop. It features a 17-inch widescreen display, integrated keyboard, Wi-Fi, and a 3-port USB hub. This laptop measures 6.75" x 10.75" x 2.8" and weighs in at 14-pounds. More pictures and a video after the jump.
A friend of mine asked back in May "Can you build an Xbox 360 laptop?" And I responded "Sure, can you pay for it?" He agreed, and thus I set forth on what was surely to be my most complex and insanely ridiculous videogame project yet

You should sell them! Or sell the idea to a company at the least. I'd buy one!

Go to his website and see how much he wants for a ps2 or n64. 1000 and like 900 respectively. So i'd imagine around 1500 to 1800 for an xbox 360. It's ALOT of work. MUCH respect. I bought his book on hacking video game consoles. Very cool. Learned alot.

Despite the fact that a laptop isn't really a laptop if it has to be plugged in to an outlet... it's damn slick. Kudos and such. Though I'd like to see the keyboard working..and how long the thing can go before melting...

The person making the comment abou dead rising text is clearly not playing in 720p. In high-def it's 100% readable on my 17" CRT

[...] The unit weighs approximately 14 pounds, is 2.8 inches thick and, more importantly, can play Dead Rising. Through an intricate process that undoubtedly involved soldering, bending and the use of arcane magic, Ben combined the 17″ HD monitor, Wi-Fi adapter, a keyboard and a water-cooling system with the innards of an Xbox 360. link [...]

[...] Sommige mensen nemen geen genoegen met standaard uitvoeringen, zij moeten er altijd wat anders van maken. Soms lijkt het helemaal nergens op en soms is het best nog een geslaagd project. Dat is ook het geval met deze gozer, die zijn XBox 360 transformeerde een een ware laptop. Altijd handig voor onderweg natuurlijk.

Dave Interesting topic... I'm working in this industry myself and I don't agree about this in 100%, but I added your page to my bookmarks and hope to see more interesting articles in the future
