With every generation of consoles, there comes a time when the cost of a new box is inexpensive enough, as well as utilized machines are plentiful enough, that console hackers pull out all the stops before the next generation arrives. For the Xbox 360, that time is now, as well as without any PS1-like hardware revision on the horizon, it appears like [jhax01]’s customized Xbox 360 laptop may be the smallest Xbox casemod we’ll see for a extremely long czas.
[jhax01] was influenced by the work of [Yung Jeezus] as well as [AllYourXboxNeeds]’ YouTube channels as well as chose to craft his own customized enclosure for an Xbox 360 slim. The situation was constructed out of aluminum plate cut with a easy angle grinder as well as bent on a inexpensive 18″ Harbor Freight brake. in spite of these incredibly easy tools, [jhax01] handled to fabricate a situation that’s best up there with the masters of Xbox laptop craftsmanship.
The CD drive was ditched together with plans for a second difficult drive. The display’s enclosure as well as hinge comes from an ASUS Zenbook, thus this project’s eponym, the ZenBox. The panel from the screen was discarded as well as replaced with one that would work with the LVDS converter [jhax] found, providing the laptop a resolution of 1366×768.
It’s an remarkable piece of craftsmanship, as well as an impressively thin gaming console to boot. throw in a battery, as well as we’d be much more than pleased to bring this around with us.
