If you thought only a semi-deity like Ben Heck (http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/17/xbox-360-laptop-mk2/) could splice consoles into laptop-shaped cases (http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/video-the-ps3-laptop-in-action/), here's some evidence to the contrary. This week, CollinE from Ben's forums put the finishing touches to his own, rather professional looking, Xbox 360 laptop. Adorned in a red and black color scheme that features a throwback giant X on the top lid, his 360 stays true to the original console in almost all respects -- including the "wind tunnel" noise generated by Collin's five fans. The fact he also consulted our guide on how to do this (http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/18/how-to-make-an-xbox-360-laptop-part-1/) is just a cherry on the top for us, and you can find a video tour of the hardware after the break. Should it take your fancy, the machine's now on auction with all proceeds going to the "make Collin's Christmas merrier" foundation.
