Remember when console manufacturers had a thing for translucent tech? Whether it was controllers or the consoles themselves, having a sort-of see-through shell allowed you to get a peek under the hood — and it looked cool at the same time. Sony brought this back for PlayStation 4 with the dark blue 500 million edition PS4 Pro, and it's an extremely handsome bit of kit.
Well, if you thought these translucent boxes looked good, what about a straight-up transparent one? In the above video, YouTube channel The Q builds a completely clear PS2, allowing you to see every inch of the console's innards. They start by dismantling a regular black machine, and essentially replace the opaque plastic with transparent acrylic. We love the finishing touch of scratching the PS2 logo into the top.
The end result is pretty darn cool, wouldn't you agree? What do you think of a see-through console? Be crystal clear in the comments section below.

Wish companies would do this more often with official releases
Damn I want one now wonder if the person would sell it on lol
I may be wrong, but hasn't someone also done this with glass?
EDIT: The video title says glass, but it doesn't look like glass. That other guy beat "The Q" to it by a couple of months it seems.
Where is the link to purchase? 😂
I'm surprised he didn't use a color tint, that would be cool.
Clear, for me, is just kinda bland and ugly. You just see all the junk.
I love videos where people restore old console and custom paint interesting themes.
I really wish clear systems were still a thing, or controllers at the very least, I think they do have a weird charm to them...
It's cool. But you have been able to get clear cases for all models of the Ps2 (as well as 3 and 4) for years.
Now i want a clear grey tinted PlayStation 5 .... (is clear black tint a thing ? That doent compute too me....)
That's cool!
I remember when I got a see through Amiga joystick and I thought it was amazing 😅
This console is not invisible enough, and does not adhere to strict ninjutsu guidelines.
-JUST KIDDING STILL 2021 NINJA APPROVED-
Somehow the PS2 internal structure looks more complex than the PS4’s.
You can can get C65's like that, yup, 65, not 64!
this video is quite old now... come on pushsquare, we want fresh new news
I looks very nice. I'd hardly say it's awesome, it's not like I'm seeing a star going supernova. My favourite custom PS5 is the still the Spider-Man one.
Translucent video game peripherals are on par with that nasty dead pink skin colour they use on dildos
@kyleforrester87 maybe if you washed it more often ....😆👍
@Hyperluminal ah I just toss it back under the bed
My PS2 USA Fat was actually Black color, but i asked the video games repairman to swap the Black shell with White shell, taken from Japanese version shell and it looks way much better in White color with a few Black color on small parts as decorative color. 😉
Well I just learned the PS2 had a radiator.
What I'd like for a PS5 is to have a very special edition known as "available for purchase". Nothing fancy, just enough stock to be scalper proof and leave those {insert extremely harsh insult} with the unsold stock and a huge money loss.
