DIY Project: Ben Heck’s PS3 Slim Laptop

5 Comments

Breathing new life in old designs, Ben Heck’s mods transform otherwise stationary consoles, making them portable. The newly released PS3 Slimline was the next beast to tackle. Combining the unit with a 17” widescreen HD Display and custom case with built-in sound controls, the PS3 laptop is a brilliant hybrid.

While a little bulky and I’m sure quite heavy; similar to the Xbox360 Laptop I can see myself taking the PS3 on a family trip. You get Blu-ray media center and gaming platform in a nice tight little package. My only changes would be to include a way to video/audio out.

Full design making process on Ben Heck’s site.

    Definitely could use a video/audio output but other than that, this thing is pure awesome.
