The engineering and knowledge that went into this, is simply incredible.

[@RTFWMKO]

Everything is amazing but i do like the ps logo a looot that is so f**** cool . It should have this illuminated ps logo from the factory 😳😎

[@justaguyonyoutube1937]

Sony made a beautiful system to customize. It's PC like with all the different builds I've seen lately. Great job sir.

[@mm0077]

That is an art by itself and it was very relaxing watching the artist skill and the thoughts that went into it. I like everything about it and may be a mixture of electronic art and modding art.

That was a nice upgrade! But damn that was a lot of work!! Good job 👍

Man, you did not just put this together, you engineered it.

This feels like one of those things where you have to know a thing or two about a thing or two, otherwise you're just here to watch and enjoy because you ain't never gonna even be close to being able to do this if you don't know.

My guy didn't have to pre order or wait to get his PS5 he could have engineered and built his own. He's probably playing PS6 right now.

[@NoCluYT]

You should put a “frosted” translucent film over the lights on the bottom so it’s more evenly lit

[@RestoreTechnique]

Yeah good idea, I think that would look better. I wanted the buttons to look glassy, and they do, but at the expense of even lighting.

Not a big fan of the buttons lights, but the lcd panel behind the PS logo is brilliant 👌🏼

[@RestoreTechnique]

Thanks

[@chememe8_]

You're welcome! I can picture a version where instead of using the blue filter, you cover the PS logo with filters emulating the retro colors (red for the P and yellow, green, and blue for the S). What do you think?

[@RestoreTechnique]

@@chememe8_ yes sounds good 👍 there are ones on the market like that, but not light up ones.

[@hollywoodkid9195]

I would just leave the ps5 as it is until the warranty runs out. The only thing I would add are those custom LED lights that go around the fan, they connect via USB behind the ps5. Another change would be the face plates and that's it. I wanna do something like this but until my ps5's warranty runs out, it's not getting opened like this one lol. I like the custom work on this ps5.

When trying to make your PS5 look cool goes wrong

[@b4rs4m92]

I dont even have it can we do it to ps4 bro

[@jimace9185]

Quick question … about 8 seconds in … the part around the led lights? Is that easy to take off and how do you do so? I installed the flaming toast decal to change the color of the light when powered on but I always have a little bit of white light bleeding through when you look at it head on in eyes height . Was thinking if I took that part off install the decal then put that part back on . Because it actually lays in that part when you put it on. Great job 👏🏼 by the way . You know what you’re doing . I wouldn’t have the balls to do that! Nice! Appreciate any insight!

[@RestoreTechnique]

Yes it's easy to take off and put back on. You just grip it and pull up on it. When putting it back on, you need to slot the ends into the right position before crunching it down. Checkout my full PS5 Teardown video at 1:50 for another view of me taking this piece off.

[@jimace9185]

@@RestoreTechnique thanks for the reply! great tear down video… one more question before I start doing this . When you take that part off , is the led surface flat or does taking that part off leave a little dip ( drop off) ? Meaning the decal wouldn’t sit flat . Do you have a Instagram? Would love to show you a before and after pic. Thanks

it looks cool but I think you should have put some diffusion on the buttons because I feel like the straight led's looks tacky

Fair enough. I considered diffusing the buttons, but i wanted a glassy look. The light is a bit uneven as a result though.

[@calebgray3219]

I forgot my ps5 has a type c port lol 😆 😅 🙃 I never use it. i don't understand why don't you use the fan power for the led?

[@RestoreTechnique]

I was concerned about reduced power to the fan. I'm not an electrical expert. Also when I started I didn't realise the fan was powered in rest mode, and I wanted the lights to be on in rest mode. And the fan connector was further away from the buttons (closer to the logo backlight though).
