Specifications:
* Xbox v1.1
* 5" lcd screen
* Polymer Li-Ion Battery Module: 14.8v 11Ah (163 Wh) with PCB of 12A limit
* 60 gig laptop hard drive
* Custom vacuum formed case
* Earphone jack
* External CD-rom drive (to come later)

This project took about 60 hours to complete from start to finish. My portable Xbox will run off the built in batteries or you can use a ac adapter. I'm not sure about battery time because I just finished it but I will be testing how long it will last when I get the time to play it for that long. The hard drive is a 60 gig seagate laptop drive. The reason I went with a laptop drive is it's small and it runs off 5v. The LCD screen is a PSone screen and I did a LED mod on it. The Battery that I used was a Polymer Li-Ion Battery Module, it has 14.8v 11Ah (163 Wh) with PCB of 12A limit. Polymer li-ion is the way to go because o f the light weight and it can put out all the power you need that other batteries cant. This has been one of the hardest portables that I've done to date and has cost the most to make. This project cost me about $ 600 to make and it was worth it. All I have left to do is to make the external CD-drive. I couldn't fit the cd drive into the portable so I made a external Ide conector so I could hook it up with out taking it a part. The CD-rom will be housed in a case that looks just like the portable it self but smaller.
