Ben Heck adds a touch of rugged to portable PS3 mod

Last we heard about Ben Heckendorn, he got his own show, aptly called the Ben Heck Show. There, the maestro of modding shares and showcases his prowess doing what he does best. Usually, his designs are sleek and stylish, but when an Afghan couple asked him to build something that can withstand some punishment, this is what he cooked up.

That right there is a PS3 built into a Pelican Storm case, which is designed to handle sensitive equipment. It now houses a 22-inch LCD screen, some speakers, networking, a TV tuner, and some storage space as well. It's not as pretty as Ben Heck's other projects, but this thing can withstand more than just a few bumps and bruises. For the couple in Afghanistan, this sturdy 30-pound system ought to be what they need to get their game on.

would be great to take on outdoor trips, but 30 pounds suddenly doesn't sound very portable :D

30 pounds isn't really that much.... and it seems pretty portable to me.... besides i think the couples are soldiers this was pretty much built so if anything happens their game won't bust on them if anything were to happen....

There's nothing portable about this. Sad thing is he probably charges $5,000 for one.

What's the matter? You can't handle 30 pounds? Everything about it is portable.

No Afghanistan jokes? You're losing your edge.

if you catually wouldve watched the show (which you probably didn't) element 14 is donating it to them for free of charge... and also they asked him willing to shell out that kind of dough, they just want their system to last...

Yeah let's see you build one.
It would probably weigh 50 pounds.
