How about turning your Xbox 360 into a laptop?



The proposal seems weird, but it was exactly what the "BDrizzle" did. He realized the dream of having one of the major consoles on the market in a very practical and portable version with only 6.3 cm thick. 


 The cost of turning his Xbox into a gaming laptop-esque apparatus costs about $520, but for laughs and sheer joy of being able to make his fantasy a reality, it must be priceless. “…I did it purely out of a desire for an electronics project… I graduated in 2010 with an MEng in Electronics Engineering, and it is keeping me sane whilst I start the final year of my PhD!” says the creator of this wonderful piece of fun. 


Unfortunately, the modified Xbox doesn’t have a built in battery, so it’s not completely portable. According to BDrizzle, “…even the most heavy duty 12V 10Ah Li-Ion battery would only last around an hour max.” Still, the invention makes it much easier to carry the console anywhere and this fine piece of hardware is nothing short of amazing.


Now check some pictures of the extraordinary model:
