At a loss for words here.

As Vadar would say... Impressive..


To be a total dick and nitpick on it though, I would have gone with a larger screen than 7 inches, and also where is the component output? lol.

that guy is amazing.

WOW... That is very cool... BenHeck has done some impressive stuff, but that is truly amzing.

[jajaja]

Cool stuff indeed! :) Im more impressed with the 360 laptop tho. This one looks much simpler, like he "just" took a wii and build things around it. Does it have a battery like a laptop too?

[MrRoboto19XX]

Ill be impressed if he ever tops this, this is amazing.

[Trebuken]

I hate seeing this stuff knowing I can't have one.

Needs Surround Sound.

I love to see people maximize the gifts that they are given. This is one impressive man that I would like to one day meet. His resume isn't all talk.
Someone who seriously loves his work.

Agreed! The portable Wii is indeed cool, but the 360 laptop was pure awesomeness.:hail:

guy is cool. dont let kamino see this topic.

[Jorpho]

I dunno. It's cool and all, but I think having to incorporate the ergenomics of a control pad layout made some of his older projects a little more impressive.

I really like Ben Heck's stuff, but this one leaves me scratching my head. How is this really practical for all the games where you have to stand away from the screen to play, i.e. bowling?

My question exactly. I love looking at BenHeck's stuff, he's got a really remarkable talent... but I don't see how this one is really... worthwhile. It's a neat idea, sure, and easily portable, but I can't see how realistic it is for multi-player.

Now, a portable PS3... possibly smaller than the thing already is (which hopefully wouldn't be TOO hard, geez the thing's a shiny steamroller as it is!)... could be interesting to see. ;)

pretty amazing stuff.....i would never hack up a game system, but that is still amazing none the less....

I thought his Xbox (360?) laptop was far more amazing due to the amount of work involved. This thing isn't really a laptop...it has no keyboard. It's awesome, dont get me wrong, but not his most impressive work by a very long longshot.

Looks really nice for a home made portable shell, however doesn't look practical.
