Engadget's how-to make an Xbox 360 laptop (part 1)
7
Following Ben Heckendorn's unveiling of the Xbox 360 Laptop mk2, you've had a couple of days to prepare your mind and body for the inevitable how-to series you knew would follow, so braid up your hair and gather 'round as Master Heckendorn teaches you how to control your anger jealousy and build your very own Xbox 360 Laptop. Be warned: the process is fraught with peril and this guide (part one of three!) is comprised of nearly three dozen pictures and over 3000 "words." So grab your soldering iron and your power converters (available at Tosche Power Supply if you're plum out) and get reading. Us, we're content to just admire the pretty pictures, thanks.

I would highly suggest avoiding the impulse to put this laptop on your lap, lest you prefer your eggs hard boiled -- unless you are actively trying to shoot blanks.

how much does it weigh?

Ben hasn't said yet. Just that it's "a lot less" then the old one.

Apologies if this has already been discussed in another location, but has anyone else noticed the inordinate number of Star Wars references in C. Grant's post's today? Did anyone else reference Star Wars without abandon (I seem to recall one other person making a reference), or was it just the inimitable Mr. Grant?
Chris...any reason as to why, other than for poops and giggles?

Okay, yeah, I just went through a bunch of the posts from today again, and it's not just Chris.
What's the deal, fellas? Is it a bet, dare (perhaps, Double Dare?!), or contest?
I'm burning with curiousity, and I'm not afraid of the answer. Because as we all know, fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.

Well hoop, it all started a long long time ago in a galaxy far away... well really Lando's voice in Command and Conquer 3 demo on Xbox Live. Then another post coincidently had a Star Wars reference too. When the bloggers noticed it rolled from there.
