Behold – a completely normal looking Pelican case!
My latest project is an Xbox 360 stuffed inside of a Pelican 1490 case. The intention here to create a “tough” portable Xbox 360 that can be transported with ease.
Xbox 360 inside a Pelican 1490 case
This unit includes:
- 17″ widescreen LCD monitor.
- Built-in speakers.
- Power cable compartment.
- Reworked top-loading DVD drive.
- Removable hard drive.
- Ethernet and USB ports.
This unit was built because I’ve had a lot of requests for game consoles that could be used overseas by our servicemen and women and I thought it’d be interesting to take a crack at the concept. It was not built on consignment, a rarity for me these days, so it is up for grabs. I’m also interested the larger-scale possibilities of this kind of project if anyone has any ideas/money.
For the fairly detailed “Making-Of” check the story after the break. You can also click here to view a video demonstrating the unit.
The idea for this unit was inspired by Clint Green’s cases that I saw last May in D.C., you can check out his site at www.greenbarron.com/armoredgaming.
