Ben Heck is a modding god. Xbox 360 laptops, portable Colecovisions, you name it he's done it  :)

But this is his most awesome project in my opinion (Ully, you might not want to click this link  ;)):

Very cool. Did not know he was running his own "TV" show now.

I like this even more than the initial portable 2600 he did :

Funny picture about our very own  Mr.Atari in that first laptop story :)

Very cool, but I prefer the one's that have the original look to them, like the German guy who did the 1500 XL laptop:

or the one that Ben did in 800 style:
