Ben’s latest challenge: turn an Atari Jaguar console into a portable. As usual, the result is quite stunning. He managed to cram the entire system into a box about 1-inch thick with a built-in LCD panel and the ability to run it off of a (somewhat unwieldy) battery pack. The Jaguar was known as one of those “ahead of its time” consoles, even touting a 64-bit processor architecture when it was released all the way back in 1993.

Ben’s “portable” has a beautiful aluminum case with a 17-inch widescreen LCD, built-in keyboard, Wi-Fi and USB ports on board. Dimensions are a “svelte” 16.75″ x 10.75″ x 2.8″, so it’s actually not much larger than a stock Xbox 360. On-board water cooling with a custom built radiator should allow the system to run significantly cooler than an off-the-shelf system.

Keep up the good work, Ben!
