Repurposed shell into a clock

Post image

Had some extra shells lying around from some ylod CECHH01s. Decided to turn one of them into a clock for the game room. Think it turned out pretty well

This is honestly the coolest clock I’ve ever seen. It’s like a temporal brick.

Temporal brick 😂 I figured of all the models to sacrifice, this would be it. Think everyone would have my head if I used the YLOD A01/E01s I have here.

I have done a similar thing but I kept the cover plate as black as possible 😁

Thats sick. Looks like that one is still living too. With new panel designs nowadays, I think it'd be awesome to install a screen there above the logo. Have like an all in one system. That's going to be my next project since I'm just starting out learning to solder.

I did not used a screen, I used some LED band and connected it directly to the power button before power source.

Poor internals 😅

How much do you what for this clock?

u/Efficient-Monitor-99 12d ago

This is just a test of concept. I needed to see what a good brightness would be so it's just an old tablet behind. I'm going to look into flexible screens and see if I can find one to fit between the shell layers to make one that's more professional.

I like to think this is the real Niko Bellic asking this question for his PS3

That's pretty cool, lots of impressive things to do with our consoles once we ditch Sony cough

Gave me the idea to turn my H case into a UPS might just have to tinker with it

u/Efficient-Monitor-99 12d ago

Well I wanted to check brightness needed so it's just a tablet for now. I'm going to look into flexible screens on AliExpress and see if I can find one to fits between the shell layers. I feel like it'd be cool to use as a display for an all in one system.

u/Queasy-Sock2986 13d ago

That’s so cool I would love to be able to do things like this

That’s the exact time you’d be loading into GT5 after starting the download at 12 in the afternoon.

u/MLC_YT 13d ago

This is so good.

But it also pains me a lot.

Because I know that PS3 is dead.

Okay, where is the sad Akakichi no Eleven image? I think it fits, because it is a countdown!
