Superb Xbox 360 mods!

If you don't like it, mod it (slang for modifying in geek terminology)! While yours truly is a firm believer in this strange discipline armed with a 550W power drill and precision dremel, this chap is bringing the art of "modding" to a whole new level with these brilliant Xbox 360 projects.

Benjamin has virtually ripped apart an Elite console and retrofitted the innards into a laptop chassis. The result is a self-contained Halo-themed Xbox LAN (network) party machine with extra icing such as an inbuilt 17-inch flat-panel screen, keyboard and even a Microsoft Live Vision camera.

He's since been back on the drawing board with a tweaked one-handed concoction of the wireless controller. Though pretty much in prototype stage, the revised iteration features dual analog sticks, as well as a PlayStation-styled directional pad and quick exchange AA batteries compartment.
