Wow. That is awesome.

I like you already. You type correctly, you were persistent in learning how to build this thing, and you made a amazing worklog. You, sir, are the kind of person we love to have here.

I hope to see more stuff from you.

When I did my personal tip to engadget I made sure to link it here, oh well

I saw they picked it up at about 1am last night, at which point the YouTube video had about 500 views. When I got up this morning at 100am, it was up over 5,000 and is now over 7,500. I've found articles on it featured on non-english blogs as well The auction also jumped from 300ish views to 3,000 this morning and we even got our first bidder just a little while ago!

Thanks everyone for your support! It's really exciting to know that we're going to be able to go to college next term!

Alright, a bid! Always a relief to have a bidder, especially at a high starting price like that! Now you can rest assured knowing you will make a nice chunk of money, glad you ended up starting it high.

Think you might build another? Maybe a PS3 Slim?

Yeah, we've had three bids posted and then retracted

This happens when selling portables very often.

The only way to combat it really is set it as a buy it now and require immediate payment.

Not a bad idea at all. I will definitely keep that in mind next time. Even after its completion this project is teaching me things. Who woulda thought.

ooh, 45 mins left! Things are getting heated up

Re: "X-top" 360 Laptop Finished! On Ebay!

Oh well. I guess now we'll see if anyone expresses any interest knowing that it didn't sell.

Re: "X-top" 360 Laptop Finished! On Ebay!

thats really sad. nobody bought such a beautiful hackjob?!?

 

[ShockSlayer]

It's a great unit, and I am VERY surprised it didn't sell.

Put it back up again, keep playing the waters, someone will find it!

Advertise the Dang thing, post it on Racketboy.

Haha I don't think exposure was the issue with the YouTube video sitting at 112,000 views and the auction ending with over 17,000. I guess I understand that people are hesitant to bid on something created by two college kids with no track record for this sort of thing. I have had a couple people contact me since the auction ended so hopefully something will come of that.

 

[PalmerTech]

Good luck! I hope it works out well for you guys.

Re: "X-top" 360 Laptop Finished! *Price Dropped

Threw it back up for a 25% lower starting bid. Hopefully someone picks it up this time around. We'll lose some money on it but at least we'll get to eat next month
