Are you still selling these? I can't get the link to work. If you ARE still selling them, how much? I've been dying to get another one of these since my died. That seems to be my only option since there's NO ONE in my section of the country that even bothers to fix consoles at all. Let alone PS3s. Thanks for posting. These videos have been awesome.
Oh man, I'm so in love with your work in this PS3. My God, the top cover with the lettering and the led detail !!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩. You are a wizard my man 👍👍👍👍👍👍
This was amazing, The final product was so satisfying. A Sega Master System II would be a good console to do next, I always loved the strange door hinge that covered the cartridge slot lol
Man, I haven't seen this PS3 model since 2010, ever since people buying the Slim ones. Awesome video! This brings me back to nostalgic times, where it was damn good.
Amigo buenas tardes, vi tu video y esta full, yo tengo una fat tambn pero presenta problemas de luz roja y nadie me la quiere arreglar tu me puedes ayudar??? Agradezco tu respuesta...
It looks like that the PS3 is one of the most complicated consoles ever, even compared to more modern ones ? Seems like its a very complex system inside
Yep, the first ps3 systems are super complex inside, the model shown in the vid is an E01 but there are others such as the A01, B01 and G01 that share the same internal layout. A massive redesign happened with the K01 and onwards.
4:46 Now I know why the PS3 cost $800 to manufacture when it was launched in 2006. Just look how gigantic that motherboard is, plus the huge cpu and gpu and other components glued into the pcb itself. I can imagine Sony was in a panic mode for selling the PS3 for $599-499. Since they're losing $200-300 for every systems sold. It's like they pick a huge rock and bash it into own head.
I've been waiting for quite some time to see someone make a non-glossy PlayStation 3 faceplate, It really works for the console! Edit: Welp, I think I know what I'm doing to my PS3 today!
Great restoration. This is the 60gb model. Also it's the only PS3 model that is backwards compatible with PS2 games 🙂 I'd like to see a custom SNES :) keep up the good work and keep giving us great content 👍
It's not 100 percent compatible on even an A01 those still have to emulate many system functions of a ps2, including the ps1 cpu that was used in ps2 games
Also, you used soap and water for the controller right? And can I use a makeup brush instead of the brush you have listed in the description as its currently unavailable. Thank you 🤗🤗
It's nice when the plastic comes pre-sanded. Man, it would be so cool if the plastic shell was kept translucent, but RGB LEDs were fitted underneath it.
Have you considered removing the IHS to change the extra thermal paste beneath? The difference in noise and temperature is night and day, I'd highly recommend looking in to it, love you videos!
wow, ficou fantastico essa customizaçao, esse console em especial que é a versao retrocompativel por hardware é linda , ficou muito show , parabéns !!!
Here’s a a good question for you why do you go really fast at cleaning the machine? And would you do it on a slow paste and explain as you go through the process it would help more that way .
Perfect job and perfect colors combination!I Have a fat ps3 with yellow light of death.I have changed to it thermo paste but never the blue parts that you put on yours up to motherboard.Is this the reason except thermo paste?Thank you!
Most likely the nec/TOKIN capacitors have gone bad, and need replacement. The ihs needs to be removed and have fresh paste applied, only repasting to top doesn’t do much.

@@phrg8332 yup. Sony used low quality paste, after all these years the thermal paste is all dried up and no good. Plenty of videos about PS3 ihs removal. Good paste is 10-20 dollars a tube, enough for 2-3 replacements. I like using Thermal GRIZZLY hydronaut paste in PS3 consoles. I forgot to mention, but the nec Tokin capacitors are a common ylod failure, and should also be replaced with better capacitors. Custom firmware is recommended because the factory fan tables run pretty hot. Ihs removal and nec Tokin capacitor replacement is difficult if you aren’t experienced, and will lead to permanent damage if performed incorrectly. I use cramolin flux remover to melt the glue, and .235mm fishing line to saw off the ihs glue. Some specialty repair will do both for $100-150. Fat and early slim PS3 all need new paste under the ihs, and nec Tokin capacitors replaced if you want a good future lifespan. Later slim models fixed the capacitor issue, but would still greatly benefit from getting the ihs removed. On newer slim consoles the ihs is incredibly difficult to remove. The last generation of super slims are the most reliable as they may have a soldered ihs, but some still use thermal glue. Unfortunately preserving older PS3 consoles is pretty involved...
@@Dirty_Bear22 oh damn, didn't know that, I've ordered new thermal paste (and paint) but don't have the technological skill to resolder such small things. once it ylods I'll do it because i can't risk breaking it even more then :)
@@studiofr ... the coolest thing is that you modify them in a artistic way. They look like they were made that way. ... like they were some kind of special version of a console.
Mate amazing work. I'm thinking of doing the same to my 60gb console. One question, where did you get the playstation 3 sticker for the top of the console. I can't seem to find it anywhere?
@studiofr how easy was it to remove the power/eject panel and what type of adhesive did you use to stick it back on. Im asking as I also would like to attempt a mediocre version paint joint and the touch panel is the only part that concerns me as I want to paint that. Great video and custome job by the way. Keep them coming.

Ahhhh PAL Snes! I am from Canada and I own a PAL Snes! I absolutely love the design! Everything is great except for the fact it outputs 50hz :(
@SinistaN No it looks similar but they are quite different inside
dear lord, I swear to God that I would pay anything to get my hands on a PS3 like this, jesus christ, great job pal, awesome
Lol 👍🏻
The matte finish was amazing for this project! Might have to ask y'all to do an Uncharted custom makeover for my fat PS3!
This guy is so more talented in this kind of stuff I like this guy to be honest .
Thanks man! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, you have given a new life to this Ps3, excellent work

I swear if i could i'd buy consoles form this man he's a legend, Sony if you ever see this give this guy a job he deserves it.
Perfect. Just perfect. I love this PS3 model.
Thanks! 👍🏻
Amazing. The best restore that I have ever watched
Thanks! I’m glad you like it 👍🏻✌🏻
Worth the wait, loved the color scheme too, my vote is a pimped out snes, blowin my mind with that shouldn't be too hard for a person of your talents
Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻

Seen the metal gear on Facebook, so I jumped over here.
Welcome! 👍🏻👍🏻
New sub! Im watching all your videos! Enjoing it
omg what did you do to that rare CECHC
How about taking a PS3 slim and put PS5 equivalent tech inside it, to make it smaller
Cool spidey colours
I think this is the coolest looking console to date. And u managed to make it look even better. 👍
Great restoration. This is the 60gb model. Also it's the only PS3 model that is backwards compatible with PS2 games 🙂 I'd like to see a custom SNES :) keep up the good work and keep giving us great content 👍
Cool, thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
this is the 80gb model, the CECHE01; and there are 4 models backwards compatible with ps2 discs: CECHA, CECHB, CECHC (EUR) and CECHE
CECHA01 the best one imo! Full backward compatible hardware. None of that partial emulation bs.
Still have ps3 60gb launch day works to this day and now it's in my closet
It's not 100 percent compatible on even an A01 those still have to emulate many system functions of a ps2, including the ps1 cpu that was used in ps2 games
OMG! You did it! 😮 It looks awesome, a custom CECHA that looks gorgeous, and the DS3 too! Haha, INCREDIBLE job! 😀
Thanks! 😄
it's sixaxis not ds3 ;)
@@mrBASTARD0 Oh yeah, you're right. And the console is probably a CECHC/E by looking at the mobo model.
You even got the backwards compatiple one :D nice work
Thanks! 👍🏻
last video xbox 360 i love it and now this great i can't wait for the next one
Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻
That looks so sick!
