The build,
step by step.
Studio-grade. Wet-sanded between coats, finished with an acrylic clear coat for depth and protection. The acrylic cover, buttons, and engravings are cut on a CO2 laser — geometry impossible to achieve by hand.
- 01
Full teardown
Every layer separated on an anti-static mat. Three decades of dust removed from places the original assembly line never expected anyone to revisit.
- 02
Motherboard service
Capacitors inspected and recapped where needed. Internal coin-cell battery replaced.
- 03
Optical drive tuning
CD laser pickup cleaned and re-calibrated for reliable disc reads.
- 04
Shell refinish
Original casing wet-sanded between coats, with black laid down across the main body and grey along the accents in multiple passes, sealed under an acrylic clear coat for depth and chip resistance.
- 05
Custom acrylic disc-tray cover
A sheet of premium acrylic cut on a CO2 laser. The PlayStation wordmark is engraved as a precise cutout — not a sticker, not a print.
- 06
Custom acrylic face buttons
Power, reset, and open buttons cut from acrylic and laser-engraved to match the build's finish.
- 07
RGB lighting
Multi-color LED array inside, controlled from a phone app. Pick the color, dial in the brightness, set the speed. Visible through the seams of the disc-tray cover.
- 08
Reassembly under spec
Every screw torqued, every panel aligned with a caliper before it leaves the bench.
