Ben Heck outdoes himself with Xbox 360 Portable

Seriously, how many spare Xbox 360s does Benjamin Heckendorn have laying around? By our count, this is the third instance where the modder extraordinaire has shoved Microsoft's latest console into something that's theoretically playable on one's lap, and obviously, this one is the best one evar. Dubbed the Xbox 360 Portable, the unit is said to weigh almost as much as his sister's cat, and it differs from most other on-the-go 360s by featuring a removable standard Xbox 360 hard drive, two accessible memory card slots, no keyboard (use the chatpad!), an internal WiFi module and beveled edges for extra safety. We'd ask what crazy mod he's planning with all the free time coming up over the holiday break, but honestly, we'd prefer to be surprised.

NO, I was annoyed at the sloppiness of people nowadays, absolutely no sarcasm!
They can't just spell things right, it has to be "Cool" or "Hip".
It's ridiculous.

I like to bring my XBOX when I travel. I would LOVE to get a setup like this. Probably make it much easier and I don't need a hotel room with a HD TV.=)

This indeed looks like an awesome mod, but I wonder, does Ben even have time to play any 360 games - I imagine modding something like that is not a one-afternoon job... and if it is for him, he should go work for NASA, maybe then we'll get to Mars sometime within the next few years, instead of decades. :)

that shit is BADASS

What... why?

I know you guys seem crazy for these, but I just don't think it's all that impressive. It's just a fancy case.

I'll admit that I found his first and maybe even second console-laptops interesting because they were a new idea, but the whole "turn x device into a 'laptop'" thing is getting tired and old. Do something original.

Do you have to put on fire retardant long johns to put this on your lap? Seems to me this thing would RROD in a matter of minutes.


I just want someone to figure out a mouse and keyboard controller for the 360 that is recognized by MS. Ohhh I would 0Wnz J00 with that setup in FPS!!!!!

If this guy is not making some insanely high salary doing this for someone\somewhere then there is no justice in this world...

I really hope he mods a pandora into a itty bitty baby computer.

If it were possible, I'd buy this extravagant mod in a heartbeat, without second guessing the decision.

His first xbox 360 laptop crapped out because the owner ran it without coolant. I dont know if it was ever repaired.

Why the hell doesn't microsoft talk to this guy and ask him if he could teach them how to make these
this dude could be making some serious cash
and that way we could all have one!

i gonna make one my self exactly like that but different design (i don't want to copyright his creation (illegally, you know)

While it's a nicely crafted, the portability isn't practical. I would like to see someone mod a PC, Wii, Xbox, PS3, BluRay DVD player, and surround sound system in ONE stylish box, so that my entertainment center isn't cluttered with all these machines. That's something quite few gamers would like to have.
