Building the ULTIMATE PS2 in 2023!
I hope my tutorial helps you build your own ULTIMATE PS2! The Samsung SSD combined with the Noctua fan makes this PS2 almost completely silent, however if you choose to add the front fan it does make the noise level considerably louder so please keep that in mind. You can use a GameStar "network" adapter, but I recommend the actual SONY adapter that way you'd have no issues with compatibility. I've added timestamps with links to most of what I have used. If this tutorial helps, don't forget to leave a like and maybe consider subscribing to my channel for more awesome video game content. THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
