GristyMcFisty used our news submit to tell us about a story of a man
that is truly a craftsman. Ben Heckendorm performed a very slick modification to
his Xbox 360, taking the previously bulky configuration and turning into a very
manageable size. Great job Ben! Any CD Freak can truly appreciate the creative
ingenuity and skill it must have taken to conceive and complete such a project!
Not that you"d necessarily want to use it on your knees, mind. The modification weighs in at 6.4kg and measures a whopping 42 x 27 x 7cm. That"s not so very far off a typical notebook with a 17in display - which is what Ben"s mobile Xbox 360 sports. With a resolution of 1,280 x 720, it"s HD ready.The weight includes water, used to cool the console"s IBM- and ATI-made chippery which normally sit under a much larger, liquid and heatsink cooling system in the console"s usual casing. Ben made sure his Xbox 360 was complete with the usual optical drive, hard disk, three USB ports and the "ring of light" illuminated logo. |
He actually made that keyboard and even added Wi-fi! A
very nice looking job. There's a bit more information and a screenshot over at The Register, if you would like to take a look. What's
your next project Ben?
