Cardboard box PlayStation 5 Pro works for a year
A PlayStation 5 Pro, stripped of its case and run inside a cardboard box, has lasted a full year in daily use, including with demanding virtual reality games. The owner, who added an external fan to prevent overheating, reports that dust buildup hasn't been a problem—contrary to what commenters warned. Replacement shells remain hard to find, so this DIY fix stands out.
- Deshelled PS5 Pro used daily in cardboard box
