Hardware Feedback PS4 DIY All in one Case

[lembi2001]

So over the last 2 months I have been creating an all in one PS4 with a 22" monitor. All this is housed in a hard shell briefcase style case.

The case has space for 2 control pads and has a keyboard an mouse preinstalled for use on Linux. I installed some USB powered speakers behind the top panel of the case.

The PS4 is powered off an ATX PSU and has a 2 TB HDD installed along with an extra 120mm PC fan for extra ventilation.

What do you all think?

This looks very good, I love it!

I think it's great, you've obviously put a lot of work in to that... very good job

Nifty! I don't know if you could squeeze enough battery power into there to run it from, but this is cool either way.

It runs off a single ATX power supply cable. I have mounted the connector on the side of the case.

I built a PS3 into a PC case a couple of years ago and added a laptop display on to the clear side panel. Enjoyed that so thought of a way I can 1-up myself and the PS4 hardcase was born.

It's not the lightest of things at just over 13kg but it works well and I have managed to get psxitarch booting on it too.

One day I might look at something similar for the PS5.....

I'd personally grab some MDF or other wood and build a box like housing around it so it won't move in the briefcase.
I love the mod, no one would say that's a portable PS4.

I've secured it inside the bottom shell of the case already

Hopefully one day there'll be smaller PS5 models, so you won't put your back out lugging it around
