Sparda Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I see it matches the size as well. It's not a laptop, it's a desktop with the keyboard embedded in to the case and screen atached on a hinge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a laptop, it's a desktop with the keyboard embedded in to the case and screen atached on a hinge. Sadist, i remember when that would have been classed as an ultra-luggable.

Sparda Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 http://www.epiacenter.com/images/projects/sx64/1.jpg[/img] That's much more reasonable in size (given that it has a CRT screen built in). Bet it doesn't red ring you in the face when you want to use it either. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothCriminal Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Thats a pretty amazing mod. Wouldn't be surprised if that lands him a job at Microsoft. Edit: That is a pretty awesome intro to the you tube video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: That is a pretty awesome intro to the you tube video. lol, why would it land him a job at Microsoft? If you have access to a vacuum former, a drill press, bandsaw and a printer that can handle vinyl you could make that. All he did was strip down a TV and Xbox 360 and remount them in a new case.

SomeoneE1se Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 There are a lot of places around me that will do this on the consumer level and a few on the enterprise level so if you can create the design they'll make it for you. So I can get access and I'm guessing that it's like that in most places, so it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have access to a vacuum former, a drill press, bandsaw and a printer that can handle vinyl you could make that. All he did was strip down a TV and Xbox 360 and remount them in a new case. I completely disagree. Have you taken a look at the shear size of the 360, granted the laptop is big, it is not as big as a 360. He had to have redone a lot of things to get that to work right. I can't imagine how he did the cooling. Microsoft very well might see that and say "thats pretty cool, we should have him working with our development team". That is by far no simple mod.

VaKo Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 More importantly, who the fuck wants an X-Box 360 with a keyboard? What are you going to do with it? Get hi-score on Office? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he did was make a case which is about as useful as a second asshole. The thing is bigger than an Xbox 360 and your acting like cooling it is a big deal, the only reason the Xbox 360 had over heating issues in the first place was the heatsink was not fixed down properly, this issues was fixed and the elite never had the issue in the first place. All he need do is place a fan in the bottom of the thing and two holes to let air in and out. Microsoft would not hire this guy because what he did was unimpressive, it's just a case and not a good one at that. (no I'm not going to make one as I like my 360 as it is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
