Ben Heckendorn is no "regular guy"

He is a genius.

He should get some people to produce more of these mods and sell them on a website.

I'd target a $2000 price point.]]>Sep 11th 2006 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 2:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/:D]]>Sep 11th 2006 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/=)]]>Sep 11th 2006 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/

And btw engadget 14lb isnt exactly out of the question for a laptop, last i checked some companys have up to 21lb laptops so really 14lb is kinda midrange for a desktop replacement :)

Wow! Is the PS3 made out of some sort of supercomposite indestructable rienforced titanium-alloy-carbon-fiber-lead casting with a coating of super kryptonite armor on top to ensure that even Superman can't get through?

Because I thought it was made out of plastic. ]]>Sep 11th 2006 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/---
*height-adjustable LCD (on some extendable flex mount)
*left-right angle adjustable LCD (ball joint?)
*rounded corners instead of hard, square edges for easier transportation.

Ergonomics is terribly important.

And...
A better button layout for the keyboard. The spaced-out buttons don't look too comfortable/natural to me, but I could be wrong.

Would be nice to see version 2.0 building upon the hard lessons and techniques learned in this one.]]>Sep 11th 2006 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/Sep 11th 2006 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/ben-heckendorns-xbox-360-laptop-best-mod-ever/

This is truly the "Best Mod Ever", maybe the best system when homebrew is 360 bound.

Hint.......soon.
