Worklog current progress to custom ps2 "super slim"

[lividxphos]

Hi there everyone! I am currently working on a custom ps2 super slim based on the files and project made by @Wesk. The thing about the super slim is there are some novelty features i dont want to remove, such as the IR sensor or the original front power button, so i cant make quite the tiny clean build but i can make a build that i enjoy!

So this is the current state of my ps2 super slim. its in a rough state as its all prototyping and in pieces so i can swap them out if they dont work.( i didnt realize i took a crooked picture til after )

now i know it looks rough, but it is self contained as a concept.

these are all the pieces that are kinda zip tied onto the ps2. as you can see i did not trim the motherboard as i am hoping to add a few components to the right of the motherboard, where it sticks out. You can see i have a ElectronAnalog hdmi mod installed, also just kinda floating.

now the checklist of what i hope to do is as follows:

• implement the rasperry pi zero 2 w, usb hub, and ethernet adapter into a little hat for the zero such as this
• learn CAD so i can actually modify the super slim files with some level of competency
• modify the files so i can implement the raspberry pi ( plus hat! ) inside the case and solder it to the 5v for the usb ports to provide it power
• re add the ir sensor and power button area to the case.
• replace the current ps2 fan with a slim 120mm fan over the motherboard at a slow speed so its near silent
• add an aux connector to the back just so i can have a little extra functionality of a 3.5 jack
• replace the power brick with a usb c adapter in the ps2

At this point it is late but within the next few days ill add some images showing how i hope to lay everything out and i hope to hear some recommendations. Thanks!

Hey, good stuff! How is it coming along?
I'm especially interested in the fan swap.
