I mean,
All I would have to do would be relocate a few things,
Add a screen,
Make it all run off of one power source.
Shouldn't be that hard huh?

I was gonna use an actual laptop case but it seems too cramped.
I think I am gonna build my own case.

Probably the same way Ben did it for his 360 Laptop.
It will cost a little more, but it's worth it.

If you're custom-designing your case, you should add in a keyboard, as well, and include an extra controller port for a mouse; use a switch to change between keyboard/mouse mode and controller mode. This way you can play the games that supported a keyboard and mouse ("Quake III Arena" and "Half-Life", for example, not to mention the ever-famous "Typing of the Dead") without having to lug around a keyboard as well as a mouse, and you'd still be able to use standard controllers in all four ports. That's what I'd do, anyways.

I was thinking about doing that.
Although I am more of a gamepad person myself...
It all depends on how much room I can get from the case.

Thats the same design that I came up with like almost a year ago. Great minds, my freind.
For a screen, I suggest getting a cheap LCD screen and getting a DC VGA Cable.

Dude, no way, how could you both come up with the same design, that is crazy, I never even thought of doing it that way, my DC laptop was gonna have the screen on the bottom, and the drive on the top, man, dude.
I think since the DC mobo is so small, you should make it a 7" or 9" laptop.

Excellent

Palmer is right, 15" is a bit large for a DC laptop.
Perhaps you should make an engraving plastic/ aluminum wall case. Those always look good. Hope this project gets finished soon. A DC laptop, if done right, would be pretty epic. You should have batteries, too. Li-Po, for thickness (or thin-ness) purposes.
Cheers,
