Engadget: how to make your own 360 laptop


Hey, remember that super sexy Xbox 360 laptop we reported last week? Remember how we said that Engadget would be posting all the information you need to build one for your very own? Well, they've already posted parts 1 and 2 of their "how-to" series. Now, we would be putting our brains at risk of explosion if we were to try and follow the directions. As such, let's just say that building a 360 laptop involves soldering, desoldering, clipping, snipping, attaching, detaching, and magic.

If you have the means, and if you can read the directions without damaging your grey matter, then you can start with part 1. If you manage to make it through that unscathed, proceed to part 2. All that remains is the looming madness of part 3. We'll let you know when it goes live.

Ben Heck creates the 360 Laptop mk2


Of all the wonderful things that can be said about the Xbox 360, "portable" doesn't usually come up. With a sizable case and a monstrous power brick, the 360 takes some effort (and preferably a comfy backpack) to haul around. Always there to heed our call, the venerable Ben Heck is at it again with the 360 laptop mk2. Many will recall his previous laptop effort, and we have to say the mk2 is definitely an improvement (the keyboard should come in handy for IM). There's no word yet as to how much the beast must have cost (HD screen = expensive), nor are there any "making of" pictures, but Engadget promises to reveal the whole process in the coming weeks. So, if you'd like to build one for your very own, stay tuned.

In the meantime, hit the "read" link to check out some images and video of the 360 laptop mk2 in action.

Look Mom, one handed 360 controller


The talented Ben over at BenHeck.com has come up with a new take on your standard Xbox 360 controller. Ben must have had the logic that using two hands on your controller is so 2005, why not just condense the control scheme and make it so you only need one hand? This modded 360 controller allows just that, only one hand required! All kidding aside, the inspiration for this mod what so that people with disabilities or those who have function of just one hand could play the 360. This is actually a great mod and very well thought out, gold star for you Ben!
