Nice modding, that's for sure. Pretty impressive little system he's put together there. Thanks for the link/article!

If llama.com could sell a 360 for $16,000

this kid could get alot on eBay.

impressive to say the least.

makes you wonder if there is a market for a larger sized portable console.

Wow... that's impressive. Makes me wonder what he could do with a Wii - Integrate the Sensor bar in and it could still be about the same size as a 15" MBP (or at least a Dell :D )

Wow! I'm lost for words... :eek: Very nice mod.

i hope the next modding includes a power generator or at least a battery ...

The size of the case would have to be quite a bit larger. The power that the processor uses alone is very substantial. It'd literally be making a Powerbook G5, which apple didn't do because the heat was so intensive and the wattage consumed by the processors is too great for a battery. Though I agree it'd be a way cool mod, it would be practical for every day gaming.

i think i remember the 360 drawing power along 150 watts ... does do new hd dvd drive use an external power adapter ?

Not real sure about that. I would assume so since I don't think it'll just run off of the USB ports... :confused:

[MacRumorUser]

Yep it does have an external power supply :)

Yep it does have an external power supply :)

guess that means it draws too much power for the usb hub

edit: found article on power usage

So its 145 Watt, and increased to 165 Watt when playing Burnout Revenge, wow.... :eek:

[2nyRiggz]
