      @@Tom2404 I mean, Alienware and Zotac have gotten some insanely small form factor gaming PCs to work, admittedly using laptop hardware. Though it's crazy that Sony got the PS2 to work in that small of a form factor. Though what you said about any cooler being too big, if I remember correctly the Nintendo Switch, as small as it is, actually has fans, of course that's going into the realm of custom hardware, but there are some insanely small CPU coolers.

      @@Tyler-Kearney the switch has a single heatpipe made out of copper and the fan is almost as wide as the switch itself. This thing is only made to cool an arm processor, not a powerful x86 chip. But you are right, it could be possible if you use an old laptop motherboard, if you can find one that is small enought and can be modified so it actually works outside the laptop. Maybe you could use one of those small pcs you mentioned. But it would habe to be a slow pc not made for gaming.

      @@Tom2404 there are also more powerful gaming focused alternatives to the Raspberry Pi. But to modify a PS2 Slim case to fit one of those would probably be more trouble than it's worth, and would basically be a Linux based PC that is only good for emulating maybe up to a PS2. At that point it's probably be easier and more worth the money to softmod a PS3.

    I remember when I was about 7 or 8 years old, the original xbox had just come out and I wanted it so bad. We didn't have much money, so I didn't get one until quite a few years later, but I still remember seeing them in the stores and the feeling of how cool it would be to have one. It's amazing how fast time goes, but nothing can replace the wonder and amazement I felt back then. Im still team xbox to this day lol.

      That's not how physics works. Light always travels at the same rate for all objects in the universe regardless of reference frame. It is also physically impossible for an object with mass to travel as fast as the speed of light while still in this universe, as it would take the collective mass-energy equivalent of the universe to accelerate an object from 99.99999...% the speed of light to 100% the speed of light.

    The controller ports on the Original Xbox are actually just funny-shaped USB 1.1 ports, so in theory you should be able to wire them up to a USB 2.0 header and use them as actual functioning controller ports.

      Because they probably didn't want to copy the name because someone else has used "RTXbox" for their pc inside a Xbox case

    Nearly every blower style card I buy I always get out the grinder and cut away those grill bits that serve to impede airflow, it is a simple yet effective way to improve blower type cooling....
