So you love your Xbox 360, but you'd prefer it to be more portable. Let's hope you've got a friend like Ben Heckendorn – widely renowned as modder-extraordinaire – because he's the man who made this awesome 360 laptop.

Complete with all the original functionality, 17 inch HD-compatible LCD display and built in keyboard and wifi, plus water-cooling to allow a relatively trim 2.8" depth, it's definitely a labour of love.
Trot over to his build log to see how he did it; don't forget the photo gallery on page 5!
Uses a 17" wide (diagonal) 1280x720 progressive-scan LCD VGA monitor (for HD-level resolutions) Thus you can actually read the text in Dead Rising.
Water-cooled with custom-built radiator. Allows for a slimmer main body versus the mammoth heat sinks in a stock 360.
Built-in keyboard and Wi-Fi.
USB hub allows original number of 3 USB ports for user.
All-aluminum case, except for plastic keyboard / ring of light / screen control area.
Uses single customized "expanded" power supply brick for both screen and Xbox 360.
Breakout ports on back allow hookup to component TV, VGA monitor, sound system (analog or TOSlink) and even crummy composite video.
Size: 16.75" x 10.75" x 2.8" Weight: 14 pounds (with water loaded)
