Xbox 360 Laptop The Second
Behold my second and (unless someone gives me Miller Brewing company) last Xbox 360 Laptop!
Similar to the first model but redesigned in many ways. “Uses 60% Less Aluminum!”
For a full photo gallery and more info please see the article over on Engadget.com. The bonus with this project is that I’ve documented the construction in a fair amount of detail and will be doing a 3 part “How To” also on Engadget, as unsurprising as that may seem. It’ll include art files and diagrams, so you can take a crack at modding a 360 on your own!
Xbox 360 Laptop 2 - Article on Engadget.com
Enjoy the photos and imagine yourself playing 360 by the pool surrounded by supermodels, but don’t rush to send me emails offered to trade in 5 Game Gears for this thing as I do not plan to build any more of these on consignment. (I am selling Atari 2600 Rev 5.1’s though!) It just takes to darn long, and I don’t have enough limbs to build enough for the demand. Sometimes I wish I could fall prey to an experiment gone wrong and wake up with 4 extra, hopefully metallic, robotic arms, but that probably won’t happen anytime soon so I’m sorry… However if you are carrying out any dangerous experiments that might result in appendage appending let me know.
But fear not - I’ve got loads of other projects on my backburners so they’ll be plenty of new stuff to check out on benheck.com in the near future. As always, stay tuned!

xbox 360 laptop mod v2.0 from ben heck…
Hot on the heels of Ben Heck’s last mod, the PS360 hybrid joystick, he’s at it again. This time he’s cranked out another Xbox 360 laptop, which improves on the original one he did a few months back.
This time out, Ben has implanted t…

Very nice!
Since you’re not producing the thing, maybe you could distribute blueprints and ’step by step manuals’ on how we can make our very own.
…or you can just tease us with more things we can never hope to have
April 17th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
This is very nice, it would be great to buy this in local store, but…

RE: fedrebel’s comment..
Dude - The whole point is to see that it can be done, and admire it, and if you have the guts, DO IT YOURSELF. He’s not a store (well, you know what I mean!). You say, “more things we can never hope to have”, what’s stopping you. Get off your butt and learn how to do cool things. He’s given ya more than you need to start with here already. If you have a problem, and actually MAKE progress in doing something, I’ve little doubt he wouldn’t offer a suggestion/help if you show him what you’ve done so far.
Wost case, if you plan to remain completely uncapable of learning new things, you could always find someone and pay them. Ben is incredibly talented, but once something has been done, any skilled person could ‘clone’ it, now that the ground work is done.

That thing looks quite spiffy! If i had the dough, I’d try to build one myself! It’d be a sweet thing to take to my friends’ halo parties! Of course, i’d have to give it my own color scheme…all black…with metal flames and various band logos metallicly etched into the surface….oooh…*drools on keyboard*
April 17th, 2007 at 6:38 pm
Would it be possible to make the laptop 360 battery operated like a normal laptop. Also any chance of a tutorial as I’d love to make one meself :D

no one is worthy enough of living on the same earth as you and if I owned Miller Brewing Company I would give you money for the honor of you taking it off my hands.
April 17th, 2007 at 8:21 pm
Holy Toledo! Nice job Ben.
April 17th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
It is a thing of beauty when Ben Heck is on duty!!!! I am Drooling and Gaucking over that xbox!!!!!!
April 17th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
Looks great, do you have any indication as to what type of budget is required to make one of these? I may be able to get a 360 for free from s friend, but the monitor, casing, keyboard, etc.?
~Thanks~

Woo! Good… Wait, no. Great… Wait, no. Awesome job, Ben! It’s so awesome! Can’t wait for the How-To!
April 17th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
you should send this to Microsoft to see if their interested in making this a product.
April 17th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
Wow…now that’s the 360 elite I’d like to buy. As usual, wonderful craftsmanship and excellent work. Bravo. Can’t wait to see the how-to, though unfortunately I highly doubt I’d be able to build something like this.

Yo, this thing should get some copyright protection over it otherwise someone will copy it and sell it to Microsoft or someone else and get rich. You’ll all see it in a year or so in the shops and the guy on the news and he will be minted and Ben will have lost out.
April 23rd, 2007 at 6:59 pm
I hate you Ben! Pleasums for the looove of your Diety, sell this to Microsoft. I want one so bad.
April 24th, 2007 at 12:26 am
You know what ben, you should get a group of people like 5-10 and teach em how to make this stuff, and then sell em……
you would be rich ;)

It’s literally beautiful. I could “probably” clone it. It would take me forever though (probably til the “Xbox720″ is released). Any tutorials? Diagrams? Blueprints? I’d like to have one of these things made by the time Halo3 is released.
June 15th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
I’m not usually an Xbox fan, but I just got done watching G4 and saw the episode with your laptop on it and had to comment. I think that this is a fantastic idea. I am a PS2 fan, but if you took this idea to them and had them mass produce it I would SOOO buy one. This is beautiful and fun….you have a lot of skill and talent to create such masterpieces. Keep up the work, and I’ll put your website on my fav. list.
June 23rd, 2007 at 6:39 pm
Wow… if never seen any thing that. That’s like… wtf! Lol… its powerful. I need one…
Ya dig…
July 6th, 2007 at 6:05 pm
I love the casing, and the ‘home made’ feeling of it, and in fact, all of Ben’s projects. For example, you can see the screws and that they are actually keeping the thing together and won’t brake!

howdy ho! i really want an xbox laptop… is it possible to show up at your door with an x box and money?
October 7th, 2007 at 1:47 am
The fact that this exists, but that i cant buy one when im currently looking to buy an xbox right now, is a new level of cruelty indeed. I want it, I want it now……. NOW damn it lol.
But if someone can adapt the xbox360 hardware to run windows and pc games in a laptop too, then i would declare the messiah of the value for money gaming world is here.Please….somebody…pretty please:)
December 18th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
Hi Ben,
I’ve salivated over your many modded consoles and I’d like to commission you to make yet another Xbox 360 laptop.
The site I work with consoleheroes.com (also known as x3h.com) would like to give one away as a prize. Please let me know what it would take to get the ball rolling.
We are very much interested.

Hi,
This laptop that you have created is to say the least awesome is there any way I could get blue prints?
Ohh and what was the cost of the final product minus the xbox360??
