I copy and pasted from this guys website, Pretty sure this voids your warranty....LOL

This is a perfect example as everything in the Xbox 360 has been taken apart and reassembled, with LCD screen, in laptop form inside a custom case. Here are the specs:
1) Uses a 17" wide (diagonal) 1280x720 progressive-scan LCD VGA monitor (for HD-level resolutions) Thus you can actually read the text in Dead Rising.
2) Water-cooled with custom-built radiator. Allows for a slimmer main body versus the mammoth heat sinks in a stock 360.
3) Built-in keyboard and Wi-Fi.
4) USB hub allows original number of 3 USB ports for user.
5) All-aluminum case, except for plastic keyboard / ring of light / screen control area.
6) Uses single customized "expanded" power supply brick for both screen and Xbox 360.
7) Breakout ports on back allow hookup to component TV, VGA monitor, sound system (analog or TOSlink) and even crummy composite video.
8) Size: 16.75" x 10.75" x 2.8" Weight: 14 pounds (with water loaded)

There are pretty cool hardware modders out there. 360 mobilized.

Impressive, although I actually wonder if that radiator can push enough heat from the thing for long use. Still, its a really nifty modification.

You would be suprised how much water can draw heat away from components. Nothing is really overclocked and with that size radiator he can pull long time use.

It looks pretty cool, but I'm ok with my regular 360. That seems to be taking it a little too far.

But the 360 will have a thermal output independent of the cooling method, in other words you still need to get the same amount of heat out of the unit as a normal 360, regardless of cooling method used. And considering my 360 gets nice and warm, that thing probably feels like most current laptops in terms of temp

Wow... that thing looks really cool! But yeah... I like my 360 just the way it is. :D

They've really done a nice job with this one, I've seen other 360-casings before, but this is by far the nicest and most clean-looking one. Would probably be great for those of you who's going to Xbox 360 lanpartys.

Thats quality!! Looks very professional and polished, nice modding. It may void the warranty but that doesn't matter cos if he can build something like that he could probably fix it himself if it did break.

Very nice... microsoft keeps people from using those on live, right?
