Xbox Laptop as 1st project is possible (with pics)

Post by Turknatr12 »

Here ya go! (sorry 56kers)

I cut it using the same CNC router that Ben uses. Even ask him, my dad works with him! All aluminum, please don't chew me out about wasted space, because I was running out of time to complete it so I had to estimate. 19" widescreen had voltage problem during science fair, so I am working on fixing it now. It outputs vga, s-vid and composite. I like LED fans, so I used 3!, It runs good, Any questions pm me! Also the size is something that was a mistaken measurement that I didnt have time to fix. Please don't kill me over it, as it is my first project. Built in wireless controllers (2) that i painted black (there were clear). I went though 3 revisions for video conversion, but it works. NO MODCHIPS INVOLVED!

Trust me that spot only shows up on camera!Image

Not bad for your first project! Hey you said you used the same CNC machine that Ben uses... could you please give me the name, number, or website of the company that owns this CNC machine? I am hoping they can cut me an Xbox 360 laptop case like the one Ben cut in his tutorial at http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/how- ... op-part-2/ Thanks a lot.

any chance we could see you using the screen you put in the laptop? From the pictures you've shown, it seems like you just took the guts of an xbox and put it in a metal case.

Wow! It seems that you are taking on the same project I am. =P Do you think you could give me some pointers? I've decided to use a 9.8" screen since I can't really find a cheap solution for a 15+ inch LCD TV screen. But I noticed you used a Computer Monitor. How do you actually do that? Did you use a component to (Monitor input?) converter wire to get that working? If so, I might consider using a larger screen...

There are a few other questions I'd like to ask you, and I'm sure some information I have might be of some use to you. If you can, I'd like to chat with you if you have AIM or MSN. Keep up the good work.

Way to go! Now that you got the basics figured out, any plans for project #2?
