Ben Heckendorn—true geek god amongst men—is back with revision 5 of his portable Xbox 360 console.
Though he’s gutted the same Gateway 1775W laptop with 17-inch (1280 by 720) display, he writes that this design is from scratch, and has the following new features:
• Built-in Ethernet port, finally.
• Built-in WiFi adaptor, as usual.
• Digital pushbutton volume control rather than a clunky knob. Different, better sounding audio amp
• Flush-mount DVD door and side panels (such as the memory card slots)
• IR sensor for the remote control.
• Two user USB ports.
• More air holes!
• Jasper motherboard.
