    It’s a neat concept but it costs as much as the console. Does the PS5 even need more cooling? The entire thing is an air exhaust.

      Yeah, that’s pretty much what I don’t get.

      I’ve never had my PS5 run hot or appreciably loud enough to want to spend a console’s worth to cool it down? Which is to say, I’ve never had it do either of those things.

      The end of the article pretty much sums it up:

      EKWB believes that its QuantumX CoolingStation Monoblock for PS5 promises to enhance the gaming experience by reducing noise, which could distract from gaming sessions.

      Pretty much just an aesthetic. If I had fuck you money, I’d definitely build something like this, but otherwise there’s no reason to. The PS4 sounded like a jet engine but I don’t even hear the PS5 over the game on a basic 5.1 setup.
