There's more than one way to make an Xbox handheld

SMRTR summary

Microsoft's ASUS ROG Xbox Ally handheld launches October 16, but DIY enthusiasts have alternatives. YouTuber James Channel created a homemade Xbox portable by stripping down an original Xbox, mounting the motherboard and disk drive between controller halves, and adding an iPod video display. While less polished than commercial options or custom builds like Millomaker's Xbox 360 handheld, this "portable monstrosity" offers a budget alternative for those unwilling to wait or pay premium prices for official Xbox handheld solutions.
