compatability between the Xbox 360 pro and the i Book g4

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

Ok this might be a dumb question but would the 360 be compatible with some of the stuff on the inside of the iBook g4 like the screen by chance because I plan on making a 360 laptop using some of the 115 page instructions i found online courtisy of Ben Heck himself or at least i think

In short, no. The screen (like all laptop screens) uses some form of LVDS, which is not compatible with VGA or HDMI or component from the 360 directly. You *might* be able to find a controller for the screen on eBay, but it's a. not likely and b. not usually worth the cost.

The hard drive in the iBook G4 is IDE, so you couldn't use that with the 360 either. (The 360 uses SATA, and also if you use a non-Microsoft drive you run the risk of getting banned from Live.)

You're doing a 360, so the battery is irrelevant as the 360 draws way too much power to run off of a battery. You *might* get 10 minutes out of the iBook battery.

Fight MS Paint abominations! If you don't have a camera, go here, and pick something 3 megapixels or higher.

Thank you for the information and heres a good question how much cash do you think I could get if I sold the parts for scrap if any because I need some cash if I am going to build that portable 360 laptop like I wanted.
