Ben Heck's latest portable Xbox 360 adds sleek white finish, Jasper motherboard

Even after five iterations, Ben Heck's portable Xbox 360 models are still a spectacle to behold -- he seems to keep outdoing himself every time, both in functionality and style. This latest model has the appearance of an oversized plastic polycarbonate Macbook when closed, and packs a 17-inch Gateway LCD panel. The big improvements here include the Jasper motherboard, a flush-mount DVD door and side panels, digital potentiometer / button volume controls, and an ethernet port in addition to WiFi. Not everything's been kept, as Heck says he ditched the camera, not seeing a point for it -- but hey, there's still two USB ports if any of his (already spoken for) customers want to add it. Impressive work, indeed. See it for yourself in the video after the break.

how do i buy one

I wonder out of how many he's built, how many have gone kaput. That'd be a tragedy for one of these things to red ring or E74.

Judging by a picture I saw of his workshop where he had a whole box full of x-clamps, I assume he's replacing the x-clamps with a better solution that should help reduce the odds of an RRoD or E74 error occurring.

You're missing a comma. Do you happen to be an author or publisher by any chance? (cheapos ruining the English language to save ink...)
