Building a PC inside of the PS4

[S_S_D]

I was wondering if it would work, cleaning out a ps4 and building a pc inside of it  

I love how the ps4 looks

that is really tight

To Much work not even worth it

[GSTARR]

maybe...gpu will be tight though

Are there good motherboards that can lay it parallel to the board?

i want to see linus try it

[manikyath]

you'd have to mod the hell out of it and it'll be a squeeze, but with enough creativity technically you can.

You can use that new corsair liquid qpu cooler. You'd probably need a pcie riser

[LittleCarrot]

A 980 would be taller than a PS4

You can almost certainly do it. Luke made the Fallout 4 pc in a smaller and more awkward case.

in theory possible but not practical at all. it will require A LOT of modding.

you could make it work in something like this BUT a riser WOULD BE REQUIRED for the GPU to fit.I don't even fully know if the PSU would fit in it. If you try it, best of luck

This is what I recommend using for parts

Oh ya you could put the furry nano

[LittleCarrot]

If you could use this PSU: 

40 second mark

Possible, not practical however. I wouldn't recommend an OEM PSU in a system like that

[moostrater]

if you have custom parts then ya it might

 

[KrakensKitchen]

Airflow wouldn't be great in such a tight case like the PS4's

I mean, It is an a good Proof of Consept, the Corsair Bull Dog is Basically the same thing.

I mean go ahead if you can find an SFX SF600

edit: the bulldog is considerably bigger too remember that 

[crystal6tak]

It's a box. You can put most PC in a box.

 

Ok fine it's a slanted box...and a small box... But I'm sure with the right components, it'll fit in there no problem. Will just need a LOT of planning, a dremel, and what the hell, I'm not a DIY builder, I don't know what tools are needed.

If your wanting a super slim size PSU that as a fair bit of power HD plex has theses which might interest you, there is also the larger Pico PSU:

Bulld log pls.

It can certainly be done, but frankly I'd try to find a way to install windows or linux on it instead - after all it's just a piledriver cpu with a gcn gpu, very similar to what you could build yourself and certainly nothing you couldn't tame with a kernel recompile. If only it had an unlocked bootloader...

 

costs nothing to try if you're going to gut it regardless.
