Sweet Apple IIgs laptop mod from Ben Heckendorn

IIgs Laptop Mod

Famous modder Ben Heckendorn is at it again, this time with an Apple IIgs laptop.  This laptop is very impressive, and although it may seem dangerous, Ben said it gives off just about as much heat as a pocket calculator (calculators give off heat?).  Here are the full specs:

  • 15-inch screen
  • Original Apple IIgs motherboard
  • Custom acrylic keyboard with laser etched keys
  • Compact Flash adapter as the hard drive
  • Side port access for floppy drive, joystick, and mouse
  • Original mouse
  • Glowing blue “][” logo
  • Built-in stereo speakers

This isn’t Ben’s only awesome creation, be sure to check out his PS3 mod as well.  Also, there are more pictures and a video up on his site.
