Ben Heckendorn, or Hecks, as he's popularly known as here at QJ, had presented the Mark 2 of the Xbox 360 laptop mod, as homage to the Xbox 360 Elite. All sleek, shiny, Xbox...ey and, most importantly, black, the mobile version of the Elite console is perfect for the gamer on the go, but takes loads of hard work to make.

Hecks just released the second part of the laptop mod guide, but since we overlooked the first part (oh noes!), this blogger will take an extra step backward and bring you a short overview of the things you will have to do on parts one and two of the guide.

First up, you're going to have to open that Xbox 360, baby. We know it's tough to pick up that screwdriver and start undressing that Xenon machine, but modding is a point-of-no return once you've decided to go ahead with it. You're bound to break every stipulation in the guarantee disclaimer once you go forth with it, anyway.

Once you've stripped down the Xbox 360 to its motherboard, you'll also have to do a few modifications to the DVD and hard drive so it can fit in a narrower space. The second part will take you into a lay-out design run-through, showing you how the lay-out was designed to maximize space usage and allow air flow for cooling.

Procedures, extra parts and tools you'll need to perform the tasks needed in the Xbox 360 Mark 2 mod are provided over at the first part of the mod guide, reachable through the "Read" link below. Remember, read through the instructions carefully first before doing anything to your vic...console.
