HDMI to DVI or VGA (depending on the screen type)

PlayStation Eye

=Intro
Hi im going to try to make one of those laptops like Ben Hecks, but I want to make it a little more me, so I may add a playstation eye, and 5 speakers instead of one, I may also make it that you can access the HDD without taking the entire thing apart (like a separate section) plus i was going to add a keyboard for several reasons, 1 in case GeoHot makes this CFW compatible with the slims so I can use Linux on it, and also this is going to be my internet for anywhere in my house, because I dont own a laptop. Now here is my PLANNED method, I still have to get... well everything.
=Method (planned)
1) tear apart the slim
2) tear apart the Power supply
3) make an EXTERNAL plug for the monitor (I want it that you can take the monitor off)
4) tear the monitor apart
5) remove unnecessary things, add PS Eye
6) put it in the case, feed the three cables (HDMI, PS Eye (which is USB) and power) through the slots then clamp it all together (the screen only)
7) test screen
8) plug hub into a USB port, then add: Keyboard, PS Eye and feed the remaining USB ports to the rear of the console
9) plug and mount speakers in case (not in-case, In the case)
10) successfully make the power, eject, volume and brightness controls work
11) solder everything needed
12) clip together
13) Enjoy!
By the way, if this hack from GH comes out, and it works on slims, and it allows us to play PS2 games on the slim, then I may add a memory card slot!
More updates soon...
