Anyone have the ability to do the bezel work? I don't have access to the material, but would be willing to pay for it. I'm not talking about sanding it or painting it (maybe now that I think about it), but someone that can get the pieces cut to size and ship it to me? I could handel the superglue\welding myself. Anyone have access to the materials or machines?

I would not have the balls to do such work. If I buy an LCD, I'm not going to touch one screw. Then again, maybe that's why I'm a programmer...oh well.

Interesting reading. Here's an idea design a console board useing old CPU's and GPU's. I'd be more interested in running 8 PPro's And 4 Gpu's on a hacked OS to play Games.]]>Apr 28th 2007 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/Apr 28th 2007 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/

Since the xbox is really just a mall PC, there are surely +5 and +12 volt supply rails available already (the optical drive and hard drive both likely require both rails). The LCD would not draw a significant amount of power and as such the xbox power supply should have no problems with the additional load.]]>Apr 30th 2007 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/May 2nd 2007 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/May 7th 2007 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/May 10th 2007 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/May 11th 2007 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/May 14th 2007 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/May 15th 2007 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/
JB Weld is an epoxy, which will actually insulate the heatsink fins from heat, rather than conduct heat to them. Unlike regular epoxies it can handle high temperatures without going soft, but it is not a thermal conductor.

At least solder the fins together or better yet learn some simple brazing skills.

Other than that, great work.

...Now, what car/truck battery and inverter combo are you going to power it with? ;)]]>May 23rd 2007 3:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/Jul 4th 2007 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-2/
