You can of course.
I did the same on my PS3 back then, although I fucked it up lol
That heatsink looks big af.
The dust traps sounds interesting. Does that mean I can use a small vacuum cleaner to dust out the PS5? Not really a fan of tearing my system apart to dust out the fans

So many games have amazing artwork that could translate well into a panel T.T I love the idea of it, but it's going to make me broke.
Yup! From what it seems, besides the disc drive being screwed to the side, and the custom 'curved' panel to accommodate said disc drive, the rest should be identical. Almost as if the standard ps5 is the digital edition, then you attach that blu ray drive. Seems to be the only difference

Yeah, I'm curious how that will work. Doesn't look like it's near the fans.
No, you're going to see a lot of places selling customized shells. It's why whatever LE's Sony releases are going to be more elaborate than just a standard paintjob. To some extent Part II's console design is probably a hint at what you can expect from the PS5 LE's as far as them being more elaborate
They may not even do special editions and can do just the panels themselves and a controller.
Guy could easily wear the console in his torso as a bulletproof vest or something. How the hell is this thing SO BIG. It looks even bigger than before! Need to check those measurements ASAP, worried it won't even fit in my cabinet
And people questioned Sony about their hardware design.
Very well thought out design.
Notice the depth of the bay.
I wonder if you can squeeze certain NVME SSDs with a heat sink in there?
Might not even need to since it looks like it will draw fresh air through there.
Probably too big.
Maybe with smaller heat sink like this good one: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07XCM1M4F/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A26FG791FVLYRX&psc=1

Some designs will fit, some with large heat sinks probably won't. I'd follow Sony's list of verified compatible drives to be on the safe side, whenever they start publishing that...
Finally some info! The console looks really tightly built and well engineered! I knew the PS5 is supposed to be big but seeing it next to the guy, I'm really surprised that it is THAT big! And the two fans are really thick and the heatsink is massive!
Really hope they will release custom side panels now its confirmed they can be replaced by the user itself 😁
It is as big as a torso! That is... incredible. And I'm not sure "incredible" as a good thing here.
Disclaimers will always be a thing. No company in the world would ever guarantee anything is 100% able to do something.
You're right about that. The fan design of the XSX is completely different but curiously it seems to have a similar thickness.yeah but its double the thickness. its almost like 2. sucking from both sides. and the fins look like it'll suck in more air compared to a normal fan.
Just got to the liquid metal part. Well shit. Hopefully this is all good enough to keep thermals and noise levels under control.
The PS5 is the most hyped console we've seen in quite some time. Folks are thirsty.

I can't believe they are actually doing liquid metal...it's uh concerning
To use liquid metal in a consumer product means they are running this thing on the absolute edge of what it's capable of ...and that is not good for something people won't remove dust from or maintain like people would with a very high end cantankerous pc

Nah, that wouldn't make any sense for me. I was already contemplating buying an external SSD this morning, but decided to hold off. Good thing too, but only if I get the confirmation that I need.
Like half the console is fan and heatsink.
That fan is only 120mm, but it sure is thicc. It's kind of like two regular 120mm fans?
Granted he says it was required, but liquid metal is super effective.
They even put holes in the plastic cover to suck out dust from, lol.
So yeah, they appear to have taken cooling seriously.
I wonder about cooling for the expansion SSD though. Probably the ones that perform well enough for Sony to validate them, will all have their own heatsinks.
But it looks like it'll be in its own little compartment with no airflow. I don't know enough to know whether that will matter.
He didn't mention the nut. What is Sony hiding?

Internally install? I don't think you can internally install anything on these.
Looks nice.
I wish PlayStation would get away from the creeky/cheap plastics though. The PS4 Pro sounds brittle and thin when you handle it and I feel like the black plastics on the PS5 have that same brittle plastic sound/feeling based on the sounds in the video.
Doesn't matter much when it's just sitting there on a shelf, but takes away from the premium feeling.

That's one big fan, I like it! although its weird that the fan pushes the air to the side. Never seen something like that before.
We should erect a giant statue of it a the center of the earth.
I wonder how long after release we get smaller side panels to shrink its size closer to the middle portion?
