How would one go about transforming pic related into a PC? What would be some good components that could fit inside, and what would be a good cooling method?

I did something similar with a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a PS2 slim.
If you want a "real computer" get a x86 SBC.
Nathan King
dont butcher the actual console unless its completely dead and you have no plan to fix it.
otherwise just buy a modder case and use that ghostcase.com
Zachary Peterson
what actually is the x86 SBC? Just a motherboard or inbuild cpu too?
Daniel Myers
there only worth like 20 bucks and I already have one kicking around. I'll have a look at your link though and reply back in a min.

Hunter Richardson
interesting, never heard of that before
Thomas Rivera
those cases are more expensive than second hand consoles
Christian Ramirez
You better be using a "for parts/not working" console.
Brandon Fisher
you need an internal hard drive and just install linux on it
Sebastian Davis
It's a full computer made into a single board.
My advice is for you to buy a barebones Intel Nuc or latepanda.
Josiah Perry
It's meant for rendering graphics, not for everyday use. Unless you can find a keyboard with the specialized plug a PS2 uses or build your own, you're fucked.
Levi Turner
raspberry pi except with x86 processor
they're more expensive than arm pi clones and more energy hungry but they are slightly more powerfull
ie just get a fucking pi
Chase Garcia
it has USB ports, all you need is a harddrive and either the an official linux cd or mcboot or some other way to unlock it and install unofficial distros.
that said it has 32MB of memory so you're not gonna get much out of it for desktop usage, and it uses too much power for a 24h server
Michael Miller
You can use USB Mice and Keyboards. Some games support them.
Jordan Martinez
USB....?
Luis White
You're honestly better off just installing a modchip or softmodding and playing pirated and homebrew on it.
David Reyes
Just install Linux

I'd get a Pico ITX board, the CPU will probably be passively cooled and you could just reuse the casefans on the PS2 if you want additional cooling.
Ryan Cruz
Are there really this people in Sup Forums unaware that ps2 uses usb and already has a process to make it a PC?
Fuck I'm old
Gavin Torres
iirc the fat idles at around 30W and maxes at 80 or 90W under load. Even under full load 24/7 it'd only cost like $7/mo
Jason Gomez
I believe that's common knowledge. But it's a pretty shit PC.
Dylan Collins
There are people allowed to be here who weren't even a year old when the PS2 came out
Elijah Myers
You can't do shit today with 32MB of RAM and a 300MHz MIPS processor besides run a shitty old window manager and a calculator. The original iPhone has a CPU twice as fast and 4x the RAM and that thing can also run Linux. You'd be better off just buying a Dingleberry Pi if you want to do anything useful like run a web browser or an office suite.
t. ran Linux on a PS2 a couple years ago and was disappointed

It already is one. Grab a ps2 Linux kit off eBay.
