The Wii Laptop 57
An anonymous reader writes "This Wii laptop was 3 months in the making and cost around £300. Check out the Ben Heck forums for more information." The insides look a little bit wobbly to me, but you sure gotta respect the hack.

Next time you post a video on the internet make sure you vacuum the floor.
Also try relaxing before filming it so you don't sound like you've just ran marathon.

Thank goodness for Coral CDN [nyud.net]. As it turns out, it's a YouTube video [youtube.com] so viewing the actual forum post isn't really worth it.

It was posted to the benheck.com forums, but I don't think it was actually Ben Heck. My first clue was that this Wii based laptop is bulkier than Ben's XBox 360 Laptop [youtube.com], my second clue was that Ben Heck doesn't sound like a 15 year old British kid, and my third clue was that I didn't think Ben Heck would use the handle OMGpedobear on his own forums.

Except it's not Ben Heck, it's 'OMGpedobear'.

It's a cool hack from someone who obviously was way too excited and probably should have taken a few deep breaths before setting the camera rolling. Despite all that, though, it's pretty neat. I'm kind of curious where the motion sensor is though, which is why I'm a little disappointed that there was no interaction with the wiimote shown. If the motion sensor is still external to the device, it becomes quite a bit less useful.

This link [engadget.com] goes to Ben Heck's version (credit to this post [slashdot.org] from further down the page). It's considerably smaller and better-built.
