"The console wars ended a while ago, in case you didn't know. But if they were still raging on, a talented hardware modder in China created a device force a lasting peace. It's a massive and very cleverly designed triangular box that contains an Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch 2. They all work and can be easily swapped between with the press of a button."
"The design of the monster machine is inspired by the 2013 Apple Mac Pro, aka the one that looked like a trash can. And while she didn't use the actual innards of an old Mac, the inside of that strange computer was a triangular setup that ended up being the perfect design to house three disassembled gaming console. A fan at the bottom is then used to cool the consoles."
"But creating a triangular heatsink for that would be expensive, so XNZ used an ancient method known as lost-wax casting to create the high-end piece of tech. Essentially, you first create an object out of an easy to melt piece of material, like wax or plastic, and then coat it in a heat-resistant material. Then you heat the object and all the soft insides melt and you can pour molten metal inside, which hardens and cools into your desired shape. Nifty!"
A Chinese hardware modder created the Ningtendo PXBOX 5, a triangular all-in-one console that houses an Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch 2 for easy swapping. The layout is inspired by the 2013 Apple Mac Pro's triangular interior and includes a bottom fan to cool the three disassembled consoles. A single power supply allows only one console to be played at a time while the others idle, and a large top button switches the HDMI input between systems. The project uses lost-wax casting to produce a custom triangular heatsink, prioritizing design and novelty over practicality.
