Ben Heck, the famous master of manipulating manufactured goods, has done it once again. This time, Ben has taken 360′s DVD drive and placed within a modified Sony CD Changer. Then, using a Arduino microcontroller, controls the disc selection. He then attaches the whole system onto the 360′s motherboard.
Recently The Ben Heck Show got there hands on the new Nintendo Switch console. Instead of playing it, they stripped it down to see what it consisted off. During the dismantling of the console Ben went over all the various parts inside the console. What intrigued him, was that Nintendo put the 32gb SSD chip on a separate and removable board to the rest of the consoles parts.

INQ: Modder Ben Heck became widely known for turning an Xbox 360 console into a portable gaming laptop. He’s done the same with the PlayStation 3 as well. Can he do the same with the even larger Xbox One? No, he elected to go for something unique instead; an Xbox One tablet.
I would like one for my truck. Don't know if I can afford his asking price though. Wonder if it is fully functional and as responsive?
would be awesome,i expect it be even easier to do it with a ps4 as its smaller insides?
Thinner at least. He'd still need to find a smaller LCD screen than the one he used in this build.
I like the tablet better, as it allows it to be potable, but I can still play my games with a big enough screen and use my controller. I am not really a hand-held gamer -- only ever own one in my lifetime. I can Velcro this onto any suitable surface, and play my games just about any where. Since all my games are digital already, the is the way I want my console in the future. Can always plug it into my big screen when I am at home.
its interesting to see people mod these consoles into something that they will probably not use.
not saying its stupid. im saying that diy stuff is actually pretty cool. wish i had the space, time and spare cash to do stuff like this.
This Ben guy is crazy.
The dude is a f*cking genius, Ben Heck FTW!
Amazing
<Insert L.A Noire joke here>
Ben heck is a pretty cool guy, he mods things and isn't afraid of anything.
