Whoa...that's big...

Picture doesn't do it justice. That paper is the footprint of the laptop. Internalizing the power brick adds a lot of size and weight. With internal power supply might as well upgrade to a 19" widescreen. Without I can use a 17".

Ben Heck Fever

Its been a long time since I hacked or soldered anything. At least since XBox OG.

Have a local friend with 2 XBoxes and one red ringed. He said he'd sell it to me. And I know someone who can cut metal parts with laysers! Whose help I might try to enlist for case creation.

Wishlist:
17" widescreen
Removable original HDD
Integrated wireless
Headphone and 5.1 optic jack
Ethernet jack
Preserve two front usb
Internal ac/dc power adapter that feeds 360 and monitor(to try to get rid of that monstrous gray power brick without overheating the insides of the case)

I'm no BenHeck so mine will be missing some key features like speakers, keyboard, live camera, and polished good looks. Here's to hoping I follow through with my grand idea!

And we have cold air again!

Replaced the blower fan in the AC unit. We're lucky it was only 85 degrees this weekend and not 100.
