Turning an Old PS3 Into an RGB-Adorned Ryzen Rig

See how Modder extraordinaire Joey “Modstek” Jones turned his old PlayStation 3 into a flashy, flip-top Ryzen PC.

ps3: this isn't my final form

[@terrapinflyer273]

Nice! Haha

[@cessposter]

the ryzen is infact less powerful than a PS3 thanks to the cell/be processor

As sad as it is to see a dead PS3, the finished product is utterly gorgeous.

PS3 is not dead everyone plays there online yet so shut up

[@star__sh]

@@VideoBee_YT pretty sure they meant dead as in the console itself having failed

This video was amazing, the build was sexy, your voice sounds like a narrator for a new billion dollar apple iphone ad, Your so underrated man!

[@skittles7168]

Now you should make a business out of this. Because I want one badly 😂

[@papafrank7094]

Oh, Yes! Have the lid pop up when you power up your system, and have the lid lower on power down. Great job on your upgrade.

[@ig33ku]

Wow!!! Didnt expect him on here.

[@VictorHugoAlvarez-eternelymiss]

Absolutely Beautiful PS3.

[@danieljuno810]

I was reading an article about Intel Optane suddenly an ad for this video popped up in the corner…..truthfully I never finished the article and now I’m here watching this video because this is awesome.

[@vicchopin]

Awesome You could play ps3 and ps4 games through psnow too

[@toastedzen]

I'm about to do something fun with my ol' PS3, and I found your video. Ooooweee what fun!

[@DiyintheGhetto]

Modstek videos are always awesome. He does a great videos.

[@swirlershark-dragon8393]

So... it no longer plays PS3 games but doès Xbox?"

[@DiyintheGhetto]

@@swirlershark-dragon8393 it does whatever you like and whatever you put in that case. That’s my modo.

[@chrisbhikharie4077]

This is freaking insane. Not enough likes for this video!!!!! Bravo and now I'm gonna make my own after watching this. Thank you!!!

[@LoopyAnh]

Looks good, should fit a video card in there as well. There are pci extensions/vertical gpu pci adapters that you could put in and be able to shove a card inside not a 3080 but a 2060-2070. Looks like you'd have to have it crammed but it'd be fine. As well as throw in 1-3 40mm fans to help displace the extra heat as well as give airflow to the area where the video card/mobo are close.

[@Urr_078_AKA_TTJ]

I want my ps3 to look like this too..damn!!😁👍😃😃😃 Good job mister!!

[@ariel9263]

most beatiful than ps5

[@egocupcake]

Look how they massacred my boy.

[@rodrigofilho1996]

I would do the same but keeping it black and with no RGB, to make it look like a standard PS3.

[@ENNEN420]

Finally, a PS3 that runs games above 720p at 5FPS! Ah, I'm just joking. You can't hate the PS3. It was the only system that generation that had any games :^)

[@tylerstarkey9141]

Awesome job! Always look forward to a new video from you. What kind of advice would you have for someone that's getting into the pc/console modding scene?.. any advice would be appreciated, thanks!..

[@insid3493]

This is the coolest thing ever

[@TheOneIndieGamer]

I wish my ps3 was half this cool

[@7pfdafamily621]

Hey would you build this for someone ? My original computer was caught in a house fire an I love this build

[@germanturkish1664]

Great work

[@HorsepowerGarageVideos]

I'm about to do a similar build, I'm just going to remove the top panel when it's on though instead of making it flip open.

[@reillyandbyronvideos5722]

Can u send me any info on this coz I want to do this my self

[@reillyandbyronvideos5722]

[@terrapinflyer273]

What was the total hardware cost for this build? (Minus hardware store stuff, unless you want to add that)

[@georg6876]

Ps3 ylod isn't because of bad solder joints. It'd because of nec/tokin capcitors.

[@dannymoonbfc]

My OCD wouldn't let me do this without putting in a disc drive looks weird seeing that light coming through where your meant to put the disc either put in a drive or cover it with a piece of plastic or a metal plate with the birth and death of your ps3 as a momentum

[@kyrahstubbs16th]

Love this

[@Plutoniogen1]

Is this modsteks 2nd channel?

U gave the ps3 some red bull

You could have made so much out of the semi-transparent case, it would've looked 100X better than this weird thing holes freaking everywhere

Nice but the ps3 even with that mod still looks like a George foreman grill.

[@k.r.99]

Functionality and performance over design. No one will look at their PS all day, especially not while playing.

[@TinyTitian]

@@k.r.99 I definitely look at my pc consistently and it has absurdly good air flow.

[@SlavicUnionGaming]

Me As a person who collects gaming consoles and owns a gaming desktop and laptop, I am very pissed at you!! That was a perfectly good ps3 that couldve been repaired

[@_spacemanSpiff_]

Most can't be fixed by beginners or people who aren't familiar with the ins and outs. It's not as simple as replacing capacitors and reflowing. It involves UART reading, SYSCON codes, and most of the time regrafting another version of the GPU with an expensive BGA workstation. If you're very lucky it can go on a few more months with a reflow. And most people blindly recap the console without even reading the codes as to which are faulty. To top it off for almost a decade people touted the Tantulum capacitor replacement which later on was found to be a lesser equivalent to the stuff already in the console. So TLDR bad information and wannabe repair shops and basement fixes ended up killing most PS3s.

[@greasemonkey392]

Title Check/ PC in a PS3. Disrespectful Abomination Frankenstein. All you have done to the memories of your buddy and the sanctity of your relationship is desecrate it. NO AND. THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! You just as well as stuffed your ps3 with paper and call it taxidermy. Cause that is what you have done… Disgrace dear boy. Disgrace!
