[Ben]’s been at it again. This time he’s whipped up a PS3 laptop. He built this one just for engadget… and there will be how-to’s on it, oh yes, there will. For now, you can wet your appetite for console modding with the picture gallery. It’s pretty big, but It’s actually thinner than the original console.
Well it looks nice and as usual shows he’s got skills.
But once again WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
I hate Ben Heck

i posit that ben heck is some sort of alien. or cyborg. his work is too clean and snazzy to be merely human.

he worked on it for a year and a half? wow, this guy’s got way too much patience.

Once again, Ben proves that you can never go over the top. This mod is slick, sexy and just freakin’ awesome. Way to go, Ben, that makes all three current-gen consoles. I can’t wait to see what you do with the nigh-announced next-gen.

I just thought I should try and warn all of you against visiting benheck.com. AVG detected five instances of the virus “JS/PSyme” on the main page (accessed 2008-04-12 @ 0113 EST).

@riax
judging by the photo you sent, you were infected before visiting benheck.com. your antivirus must have misinterpreted. a quick google search says it came in through a malicious java site, and is nondestructive.

@Steve
The page load was temporarily suspended each time AVG detected the virus and asked me what to do about it. Therefore, I’m pretty sure it came from something on the main page of benheck.com.

Ben heck is the man.
I propose we make a statue of him and then modify the statue to make it more portable, and then make a statue of _that_.
The resulting statue will be put on display at the Smithsonian museum, or at a really cool park somewhere or something.
