PS3 "Portable" - The PS3 Luggable

[BaronVonShaggy]

Since I'm not nearly as awesome as the modders here, I wasn't able to make a true PS3 portable. I don't have the technical knowledge to do anything very complicated and I don't really have much patience. So instead I took an old Compaq Portable computer and put my PS3 in that.










Once the keyboard tray is removed, left to right is a 7" LCD screen, a pullout drawer holding a dual controller charter, 2 USB connections and the Bluray drive mounted vertically. It's able to play on the front LCD as well as a second TV or something else with a HDMI input. There is also a headphone output. Once the keyboard tray is attached it is fully portable, or at least as portable as a computer in the early 80's was.

Even though it's not a handheld or small in any way, it was really fun to do something different.

Great Job! I would argue that putting a PS3 into an 80's computer is on par with making a true portable. We all got into this to make unconventional things right?

Nice job! Something different is always appreciated.

Now you just need a time machine to go back to the 80's and show them the future of portable computers!

Does the keyboard work? Or is it just for decoration?

[BaronVonShaggy]

The keyboard works for navigating the xmb and dvd/bluray menus but not for games.

And I don't think people in the 80s would believe that video games could look as good and be as complex as they are currently are. If only I did have a time machine so I could set this box next to people playing Ms Pacman in an arcade and see the looks on their faces.

You could have probably sold the computer on ebay lol
