19 inch x360 Portable

[Xerino]

Hey all, Im looking to build a 19 inch display xbox 360 portable, I got the monitor, and Ive got the xbox 360, I can solder well enough

I plan on using an acrylic casing and with built in Wi-fi, the only thing I need advice on is power, can anyone help me out?

You're going to have to use wired power using the 360's power supply. There isn't any practical way to use batteries with a system like the 360. Take a look at the engadget how-to that ben did for his first 360 laptop. You'll find a ton of valuable information in that. (It's on the benheck.com homepage somewhere... I'm too lazy to search for it right now )

oh of course, I wouldnt even begin to think about using batteries for that thing, I was anticipatiing having to use the "brick" and Ill look into that, and hope some good comes out of it, I got a lot of neat ideas, I just hope the brick can stand up to the power needs

would batteries be plausible if they get those new cpus and gpus?

I don't think that beast will ever run off batteries.
