Xbox 360 Laptop Mod

xbox-360.pngAre you up for some gaming while on-the-go? Benheck.com will rebuild an Xbox 360 into a laptop for you.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill laptop, since you can only get one specially modified, for quite a steep price (parts alone cost $1,200). Either that or you can go D-I-Y, building the mod from a stock Xbox 360. Come to think of it, it’s not actually a “mod” per se, because the system had been practically rebuilt altogether.

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.

Aside from the Xbox 360 innards, the system includes the following:

  • 17-inch progressive scan LCD monitor at 1280×720 resolution
  • Water-cooling system with custom built radiator
  • Built-in keyboard
  • Built-in WiFi
  • USB hub, allowing for 3 USB ports
  • Mostly aluminum casing
  • Single power supply for Xbox 360 and screen
  • Ports for connecting component TV, VGA monitor, sound system and composite video

And the size? It’s 16.75″ x 10.75″ x 2.8″ and weighs 14 pounds. Hey, that’s lighter than the 18-pound Dell XPS 2010!

Then again, these aren’t your regular laptops that can be used for the usual productivity applications. That’s unless you consider gaming to be productive, or if you play games for a living, like some lucky people I know.
