How we Intend to fix it • Screen, speakers, console in one portable unit • Just one cord (self-contained) • Modified layout of internal Xbox 360 components • Option to connect external audio and video receivers • Plexiglas covering • Space for controller and game storage
Design Challenges and Limitations • Removal of heat (GPU, CPU) • Balancing of the system (monitor) • Creating outputs for external sources (video/audio) • Extending/shortening internal components (Soldering wires) • Making prototype cost effective (adhere to budget) • Optimizing internal layout to allocate sufficient space for each component • Ensure unit is aesthetically pleasing • Create single power output (merge all power sources)
