    Default XBox 360 Laptop

    Ben Heckendorn is at it again.

    http://benheck.com/

    This time he modified a 360 to include a self-contained monitor, keyboard, water cooling, and all the other nifty things he always does. It may be a 14 pound beast...but hey, it's from Ben so it's still cool.
    That's just what I wanted you to think with your soft, human brain.

    Wow, that's sweet. I'll be suprised if he doesn't have long term overheating problems with that thing though, but man, pretty damn impressive.

    This guy is a friggin' genius. I just love what he has done with the Xbox 360 (Microsoft, take notes!). I wonder if he has ever been approached by one of the big boys to help design a console...

    Nice! I wonder if the keyboard feels like an Aquarius or something....it looks a little stiff. Very cool, though. Would attaching an LCVD to a 360 and bringing a Keyboard along weight less?

    Yeah, you would think Microsoft would be all over this dude, trying to hire him. He obviously found a way to shrink the Xbox 360 dramatically, but I'm not sure if alot of it is practical for mass production. But still, if they ever need to shrink the 360 in the future and come out with a smaller form factor, they should at least consult this guy and get his take on it.

    He has his own small web-server. This is popping up on all kinds of game websites and his site is probably just getting hammered.

    Woah, nm. I guess I just didn't let it load all the way the first time.

    Does Ben address the cooling issues, for those who have read the article? I'm getting the 403 now.
