Given the continued scarcity of next generation consoles<\/a>, most of the people who have been luckily enough to actually get their hands on one likely wouldn’t even dream about taking it apart; let alone attempting to modify it. As his YouTube username might suggest though, DIY Perks is not “most people.” In his most recent video he did just that with a PS5<\/em> and, while a little scary to watch at times, the results are pretty spectacular.<\/p>\n

Rather than just a basic PS5 teardown and rebuild<\/a>, however,\u00a0Matt Perks fabricated his own custom parts to completely change both the look and feel of the console. Gone is the white outer plastic casing and in its place are hand made brass panels that have been painstakingly bent and shaped to match the console’s original design. He also made new buttons for an all brass aesthetic.<\/p>\n

The video itself lasts for only 16 minutes, but the entire process took considerably longer to complete. The final result is arguably worth the effort though, with the well polished brass almost creating the illusion that the PS5<\/a> is made out of gold. Of course, creating an entire console out of the world’s most precious metal would be incredibly expensive and more than a little wasteful, but it has actually been done before.<\/p>\n

In a recent series of YouTube videos, the Linus Media Group detailed the process of creating an 18 karat\u00a0gold Xbox controller<\/a> which was reported to have cost the company a staggering $87,500 to produce. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, its 1.5 kg weight and stiff shoulder buttons apparently make\u00a0it terribly impractical to actually game with; as too does the need to wear gloves while handling it to avoid ruining the finish.<\/p>\n
