A while ago Ben Heckendorn modded an Xbox360, and turned it in to a laptop. Ben is at it again, only this time around it is with a Wii. The features on this clever mod are as follows:

16:9 widescreen LCD, 7-inch diagonal.
Stereo sound
Gamecube controller port
Built-in short range Sensor Bar
Ports for using original Sensor Bar and A/V output jacks (for use on external display)
Built-in power supply and compartment for power cord
Dimensions: 8.5 x 7.7 x 2-inches

While it's not exactly practical, it's a cool hack. In case you're wondering there is no battery, and it has to be plugged in. I guess this just makes the Wii more portable. There's not really much to say about it, except that there will be a tutorial on how to make one yourself starting Tuesday. Here's a youtube video of it being used.
