The XBox 360 Laptop
This is a totally awesome mod. Ben Heck created an XBox 360 laptop (basically a portable 360) completely from scratch. There’s even water cooling! Check the full thing out right here!
I guess I would say I don’t “mod” systems so much as completely rebuild them.This is a perfect example as everything in the Xbox 360 has been taken apart and reassembled, with LCD screen, in laptop form inside a custom case. Here are the specs:
1) Uses a 17″ wide (diagonal) 1280×720 progressive-scan LCD VGA monitor (for HD-level resolutions) Thus you can actually read the text in Dead Rising.
2) Water-cooled with custom-built radiator. Allows for a slimmer main body versus the mammoth heat sinks in a stock 360.
3) Built-in keyboard and Wi-Fi.
4) USB hub allows original number of 3 USB ports for user.
5) All-aluminum case, except for plastic keyboard / ring of light / screen control area.
6) Uses single customized “expanded” power supply brick for both screen and Xbox 360.
7) Breakout ports on back allow hookup to component TV, VGA monitor, sound system (analog or TOSlink) and even crummy composite video.
8) Size: 16.75″ x 10.75″ x 2.8″ Weight: 14 pounds (with water loaded)

I’d pay Hard Cash for that! $1000, more if he includes an extended warrenty!
