It has run fine for awhile now over a year without much of any problem. Plastic is non conductive flexible material. My system is mounted to a piece of lexor plexi glass. Who cares if its safe... anway its a PC working inside a ps4 case. As long as your gentle with it everything would be fine. Using hardware that you have suggested would not yield the benchmark scores that defeat both the ps4 and the ps4 pro. The point of this project was to build a pc inside a ps4 case to beat the ps4 and ps4 pro. That would have defeated the purpose of my project. I put a regular desktop or mini desktop pc inside a console case. It is safe did you bother to read my descriptions of what i did to my system here. Glue and electrical tape is a insulating material that is non conductive. My pc parts are mounted to stand offs witch are threaded into a piece of plexi glass. There not just sitting inside there. There mounted with significant space between the plastic and the motherboard. The heatsink is mounted to stand offs. You guys are morons with this safe crap. Its a pc console build, its about getting the system to fit and run by any means nessasary while trying to maintain the look of an original ps4 witch i have down well or at least i did in the beginning , then over time i made changes that made it look less like a ps4 console. more holes , then it looks weird. Any more holes and it would look nothing like a ps4 anymore. Check the bench mark scores on the system. It's surprising sturdy and balanced dispite the awkward components inside. it stands up on its own nicely and won't fall over easily. You would be surprised on how well the system performs and it runs really cool its has a low power components inside. It doesn't get very hot. I modified it so it would not.

How you would you do it safer? How would you have built it safer?

It never has before

I have modded a bunch of stuff like this or wired ghetto plugs like this alot. its just a power plug and some switches.

It is safe as its gonna get plus im an experienced adult not a kid.

it is save it has 2 layers of protection emi to switch to another emi then to my power supply. I made a ghetto switch panel. I wired it up with double wiring and its insulated with glue and electrical tape. So emi rf filter to a 250v rated switch then to a another emi filter then finally the 110v gets to my power supply then to my pc system. i acrylic conformal coated it too. I also have another emi filter on my surge protector as well i put on there myself. The system has 3 power filters cuttingout interference. I put larger capacitors on the power supply that are low ESR and on the mother board as Well with larger higher rated capacitors low esr. I used glue hot glue for insallation on everything. I has been surprisingly sturdy after i modded it a few times. I even tool this little itx board and cleaned it with simple green and water and backed it in my oven then recapped the entire thing again. I recapped this motherboard 3 times. And it still works really well. I acrylic conformal coated and glued everything. At least i did the first time around.

some more photos of this ugly mutant ps4 pc

Yep that would be me haha

I put rf and emi filters on everything too I put 2 of them on the system so the 110v is filtered 2 times before it gets to my power supply There ugly but there good for protecting the components. I had to buy 2 of those motherboards because they fool you with that solid aluminum design crap, Cause the first board i got died probably because of bad caps rated too low.. The capacitors on the board were rated at 2.5 volts aluminum polymer. I put regular low ESR capacitors on the motherboard that did the trick the second time around with this mother board. I also had 1 power supply stop working while trying to shorten the rails down on the powers supply by removing them then cutting the wires down then soldering them back in. That made this build get much more expensive but originally it would have been pretty cheap to do this. You could build this machine with a lower quality power supply and a lower quality processor and save a bundle like 400 or 500 or 350 $ if you wanted.

To build one that looks just like a ps4 normally would cost alot more money you would have to do some sort of laptop or mini desktop pc but i wanted to put a regular desktop power supply inside cause i like beefy power supplies plus i really like to recap power supplies

Thanks did you build one are those your specs above, Yeah the paint isn't that good.

So using the ps4 pro case build a better pc than the ps5 thats is something in future i will try to do like i did here and i built this thing then rebuild then rebuilt again so its has gotten ugly each time but usually it for performance enhancements and easier access for my ghetto looking ps4 but it still resembles a ps4 from 1 side at least. I knocked it down a few times when i was drunk or of my desk by accident so it messed it up a little but all and all its still a cool pc in a ps4 case. I hope you like mine and i hope you build yours

Well you could always do it again Loud is great for a garage pc you know think of a garage pc I like when i start my pc it sound like a engine starting up with all the 110v fans and 24 volt fans After awhile it drowns out other noises and like it. I like to make my pc loud instead of silent especially if its really small check out my ps4 pc i put a noctua 24v industrail fan on it to make it loud on purpose, I like that it drowns out other noises and after awhile i just tune them out.

I was hopeing you guys would build one but with more money to through at the project and destroy mine. Or my idea would be to build a pc inside the ps4 pro or original ps4 case that can beat the ps5 specs once there leaked ..

I built a PS4 PC Hardware list AsRock H97M-ITX/ac CPU: Intel Core i7-4770T 2.5 ghz 4 cores 4 threads and can turbo boost up to 3.7ghz with hyper threading GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GT 1030 GDDR5 2 GB low profile with PCI-E Express 16x 90 Degree Adapter Riser Card For 1U Computer Server Chassis 16Gb DDR3/DDR3L 1600 ram patriot ram Athena Power Flex 500 ATX modified , i shortened the 24 pin connector to fit and took the power supply out of its case. 2 separate solid state drives San disk Ultra II 480GB because there really small when you take them out of there case and a PNY 480GB SSD Drive giving the system a tb of storage space Windows 7 64 bit installed and fedora 1 24v noctua fan on top the case linked to a step up converter running directly off the pc power supply and a 72 watt step up converter 1 110v thermOcool fan on top of the of the power supply keeping the psu cool running off the wall outlet. I added 1 other fan just to offset a power surge problem and i added a switch panel but it look better without one in the beginning but for the sake of upgraded the gpu to card that had a fan i had to remove the power plug witch originally i had mounted on the bottom of the case. It looks like a ps4 from 1 side at least. Case mod ghetto style home done... Cut the bottom out of the PS4 or a square section out of the PS4 then , Take a square piece of plexi glass from home depot and try to make a cut or perfect square to match the size of the ps4 bottom. Then Paint a border on it and rivet it onto the ps4 bottom. Take the PS4 center plastic piece and gut it out. Then glue it into the bottom for stability because there is nothing left. Make all your mounts for the pc components on the plexi glass piece. thats how i did to get enough room to fit the components inside cause there is no height with the PS4 and the hardware is still relevant so its hard to beat it. But my ps4 ghetto pc beat both the ps4 and ps4 pro in bench mark scores with Geek bench 4. here is the links https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15242133 , https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/compute/4733216, https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/compute/4733213,https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=DG1000FGF84HT,https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=DG1307SML87IB

There only 21 $ each fan for a large one from therm I think there much more cost effective than liquid cooling plus there loud and fun.

My Name is kevin Hogan i was wondering if Linus has ever or would ever be interested in doing a comparison of Heavy industrial equipment coolers by ThermOcool vs the standard Liquid coolers, ThermOcool fans are 110v fans that are all metal and have high cfm and have high efficiency much more than a 12 volt fan that cools the liquid of the standard Radiator. It would be liquid vs air all over again but with monster fans vs standard liquid coolers. I believe the monster fans would win. Plus there fun to go crazy with in your pc cause it makes any pc an instant loud roaring monster. I put 2 150mm x150mm or 2 172mm round ThermOcool heavy industrial equipment coolers in my socket 771 dual socket Dell precision 690 and there really effective at keeping the system cool. Or another suggestion to build to build a crazy loud crazy powerful liquid cooler would be to use the ThermOCool 110 v all aluminum framed powerful fans in combination with a standard radiator liquid cooler all in one. ThermOcool fans come in my different sizes and can replace most standard fans in your case as a direct fit. But there just more powerful. I wish ThermOcool would market there fans towards the pc world or market. And even make a power supply that has multi 110v rails on it , it would be awesome. I put power plugs in the door of my pc and just plug in the fans on the front of the case. You could build a custom case with the power plugs for each fan and created a roaring monster if you wanted that would be fun to have in your garage were noise isn't an issue. The fans can be had at Marvac electronics for 40 $ each or online for about 21 $ each so you could get 3 of them for the cost of a liquid cooler than power plugs for like a 1 or 2 $ or something like i did. I did a cheap way using plexi glass to mount my power plugs for each fan. But i would like you see you guys build a completely custom build of this idea way better than what i did. They cost alot less money they consume more power though but i still think there a better choice in cases with dual processor or dual gpus over liquid coolers. There noisy as well but coat of plastic dip can take care of that. And for power you could always use step converters or just plug them in.
