XBox 360 Laptop Mod Created 35
Heffenfeffer writes "Benjamin J. Heckendorn has custom-built an XBox 360 laptop. It features a 17" widescreen 1280x720 progressive-scan HD display, breakout ports for VGA and component inputs, built-in Wi-Fi, and even an integrated keyboard — all in a 14 pound, 2.8 inch thick enclosure. A journal of its construction is also available for those wanting to make their own. As this was built on commission, you're welcome to ask him to build you another one, but 'beware of sticker shock.'"

Or I have a better idea, if you come across something interesting that hasn't been posted to slashdot, why don't you submit it?

Just because some blog covered this story before Slashdot did doesn't make that blog the authority on the subject. Have we learned nothing from ordinary news outlets trying to "scoop" one another?

Normally, once the site is dead it is too late for the Coral cache, but we lucked out this time. Images and everything!

What a very nicely built unit. The final look, while a tad chunky, is very much in keeping with the 360 styling, and would make for a really, really nice portable gaming rig.
I am so very much not keen on the water cooling, but I just never trust having liquid flowing around inside any computing equipment... surely they'll leak someday? Surely?
Anyway, nice, nice work.

Also note -- water-cooled! Which also explains the 14 pounds.
