Xbox 360 Elite: the laptop
Ben Heck is at it again. You may remember his work from a project we reported last year, in which Ben crammed the innards of an Xbox 360, along with a full keyboard and monitor, into a svelte laptop case. He's done it again, this time adding perks from the Xbox 360 Elite, including HDMI video, a 120GB hard drive, and a built-in Vision camera. In short, the thing is effing amazing (and practical). Check out Ben's BioShock inspired video about his new creation after the break.

Wow, Wow, Wow. That is one sweet mod. I would buy one of those if they were ever on the market. We need this guy to design the next "next Gen X-Box" and it will defiantly be a winner.

Can I turn my elite into a laptop, too?
David W. @ Feb 4th 2008 8:22PM
Yep :) he gives step by step instructions!

This could easily pick up £1,000+ on eBay.
Any ideas on how much it cost to make?
Matt @ Feb 4th 2008 7:26PM
lol if that got RROD
BowserUSC @ Feb 4th 2008 8:39PM
He's probably got the know-how to fix any rrod issues himself.
Rae @ Feb 4th 2008 7:35PM
lol that thing looks better than most windows laptops
aeron @ Feb 4th 2008 8:42PM
so, this could be the xbox360/laptop I dream of.
Patrick @ Feb 4th 2008 8:47PM
that should, truly, be the next gen model. In this age where everything is portable, that makes sense. MS I hope you're seeing this.
George Arauz @ Feb 4th 2008 10:14PM
Wow.. i wish i had one of these
bonzai @ Feb 4th 2008 10:17PM

Sky Shark X2 @ Feb 4th 2008 11:49PM
I wish I had this, that must be great being able to play games and stuff on the road like that. Does anyone know if it has a seprate boot mode into a regular OS though?
Corleone @ Feb 5th 2008 12:25AM
MS should take note and build that.
I would buy one in a heartbeat!!

LesbianHam @ Feb 5th 2008 6:16AM

Ben @ Feb 5th 2008 8:29AM

Dr Ecksack 3000 @ Feb 5th 2008 8:58AM
sa-weet!
with this thing I could play Rez while sitting on the toilet, how much is it?
Boff @ Feb 5th 2008 9:05AM
That's well sweet. I assume the PSU is external?
What's the heat dissipation like? And I wonder if he's tried running it off a laptop battery??
Tr3y MoNey @ Feb 5th 2008 11:49AM
I wonder if you found all those big words on Wikipedia?
But, you can see that he has it plugged into a wall charger.
VERY NICE! I LIKE! HOW MUCH FOR YOU?
Boff @ Feb 5th 2008 12:58PM
Couldn't watch the video in work :o(
And I never go anywhere without my pocket thesaurus ;o)
Andrew @ Feb 5th 2008 10:58AM
I hope this guy realizes that he is going to have a billion orders for these things!

That thing has to weigh as much as the original xbox. Or at least it looks like it. But still overall nice design. It's sexy. :P
