You knew this was coming – the Xbox 360 Slim Portable. Big differences compared to my older models:
- About 1.5″ inches narrower left and right, 1″ narrower front to back.
- Internal power supply.
- Uses stock Xbox 360 Slim fan so it’s much quieter than my older 3 fan models.
- Touch sensitive power and eject buttons of the Slim have been preserved.
Not so big differences:
- Pushbutton control audio amplification.
- Gateway 1775W 17″ widescreen LCD display @ 1280×720.
- Fan grate design copied from PS3 Laptop design.
- PVC plastic routed case.
The construction of this unit is being covered over the first 6 episodes of The Ben Heck Show so be sure and check it out to learn how I put this thing together. This is the actual unit that is up for grabs as part of their contest, so one lucky winner will take this puppy home!
I’m actually building 3 of these so besides the giveaway unit the 2 others are available to buy – if interested please email me.
