    Hey, on part 1 of the tutorial, you leave a link to digikey for a male header. When i click it it shows a expired set. What’s the part number for the male head required for your tutorial?

    Other than that, awesome work!!! I really cannot wait for part 3 to come out.

    Im attempting to make my original xbox into a laptop computer and i am running into problems on the av connection to the monitor. i am using an old apple laptop monitor i got for free to save money and i dont know how to connect it onto the xbox av output port. I was wondering if anyone had any kind of pin out that would point out witch contact points on the xbox av output i had to use.

    Is there a way to pay you for creating the XBOX 360 Laptop? It looks really cool and I would love to have one. Is it possible for you to create the laptop shell and I can insert the XBOX with a walkthrough if that is more feasible?

  19. shareef Says:

  20. Want to make it Says:

    About how much was the estimated cost of this project? I was planning on fixing a Red Ring of Death Xbox360 and using that for this, so I was wondering what It would cost for the other parts involved.

  23. Larry Says:

    I must be honest. After reading the entire article on that 360 laptop of yours, I sat here for like ten minuets staring at the photos and reeking of jealousy. Haha.

    I’m VERY impressed with your work man.
    I may embark on a journey like this someday,
    provided I can actually manage the patience…

  29. Jericho Says:

    Do you sell X Box 360 Lap tops and can you save games on to the hard drive

  30. Brutuz Says:

    To answer Jericho, he says he charges a LOT (I think it was $5000, iirc?) and with all 360s you can save games on the Hard Drive as of the New Xbox Experience update. :)

  31. Nathan De Bruin Says:
