Re: PC in a PS2 case
You might be able to get some sort of linux pc in the original PS2. But why would you want to? To me its just a waste of money unless you like doing things just to know if you can or not. If thats the case then go for it.
Do you have any reasons for doing this? I can't think of a good ideas as of why to spend money on doing something like this instead of something else other than just to have bragging rights and what not.
I bet an ITX board and Nano ITX boards would fit in a ps2 slim. maybe...

EDIT:
Unless you like linux. Then this is a great idea for a person who likes PS and Linux. I personally am a windows only fan. But then again... I dont really know the uses of a linux rig.
People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

web server, steam (valve) server, file server, security and etc...Originally Posted by SnowFire
even microsoft use linux servers for web security, LOL
modder for life
Re: PC in a PS2 case
Well there you have it!
You know, I think I already knew this. Odd.
I wouldnt mind having a web server in a ps case!Now it would be cool if you could have both the ps2 and the linux in there. You would have to mod a bit but who cares?

Re: PC in a PS2 case
he didn't say it was gonna be a slim ps2, and doesn't windows work on itx boards?
Re: PC in a PS2 case
I know he didnt say slim. I was just suggesting it.
I dont know? Does it? If it does then that would be really cool! People would be like... nice ps2... and then you could be like... oh yeah? watch this!
lol maybe you can even window and light it!

Re: PC in a PS2 case
Dont forget, you can get a PS2 emulator and still play games on it. Hell, you could even play xbox games on it too.

Re: PC in a PS2 case
Wow, That is a great idea! Psh, geeze... how did I not think of that? I was all trying to figure out how to put both setups in there... and you could just do that. *Smacks self*

Re: PC in a PS2 case
Im pretty sure ive seen this done with a micro itx mother board in the larger style ps2. It was a tight fit if i remember correctly but its possilbe. And yes you can run windows on it. Alot of ppl like to do things like this with the ITX boards to make home theatre pc's complete with windows media center.
You could probably use one of the newer nano itx boards and that would be an easy fit, it just wont be very powerful. I was thinking of doing it myself once i get some spare cash.
Ill try to find a link to it for you.
:edit: Link to ps2 pc - http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/playstation2pc/
If you look around on that site you can find some information on micro itx and nano itx.

Re: PC in a PS2 case
Ha ha, I especially like the "Rundfunker" and "K'nex ITX".
Did they fit the ITX in WITH the ps2 or without it?
