Wow, it's pretty sweet! :D
At first I couldn't even tell it was a 360!
I think everything is well cooled in there, right? A big case gets better airflow.

Why don't you just buy a gaming pc? It could outperform that by a longshot...

Or they ask a question that has no relevance, makes no sense, or has terrible spelling and grammar, or a combination of all three! :lol:

guys i know a lot about modding and crap like that. 2nd you shouldnt always judge ppl by posts. but w/e im trying to work on the 360 laptop now, my friend is giving me a broken laptop so i can use the casing and screen for that. which saves me a crap load of $$$ and i will need help on the hdd part. i did get a message saying use the ribbon cable trick but im not sure how i would hook up to the hdd end of it.

You can't use a laptop screen to make an XBox laptop - they typically use a proprietary connection for video. Typically, standard LCD monitors are used for screens.

...assuming the laptop case is big enough. The 360 laptops are usually somewhat thicker than their PC counterparts.

The 360 will not fit in any laptop made in the past 10 years.

The desktop, is impressive; kudos on that!
