PS3 ITX PC?

[iamdarkyoshi]

So I have a dead PS3. (40GB model thing)

 

Well, kinda dead. It powers on without any errors but no video from either port. I was originally going to make an ITX laptop, but should I make an ITX PC in the case of the PS3?

 

Leave your thoughts below.

Wait, what? Is that like a pocket sized laptop?

 

 

Anyways, get yourself a PC. So much better. If you want to, I can say a few parts and you can make it a PCPartPicker list. Just specify ur budget.

I like this idea, however you are very limited on space vertically with the ps3, it's not like the bulky xbox 360

probably not impossible. Though I think the main issue is finding a board that has a pre-installed PSU, like Alienware Alphas and such. 

 

Of course an APU build or you can go with the eGPU setup, that requires either an expresscard adapter or a mini pcie like those in laptops.

PSU is no problem. I already have a tiny PSU that handles the 100w system with a very wide input voltage (I would use a laptop PSU, a big one) and then the internal PSU does the rest.
