   Is it practical/sensible to turn a PS5 into a general purpose computer? What are the specs?

      No need if you can get a BC250 for less than a PS5 these days - though even that may be difficult now

         The BC250 is interesting, but you need a PSU, a case with a fan and a fan duct to push air through the heat exchanger or something similar. A used PS5 already has all that, plus the nice feeling it’d annoy Sony.

         Also, the square tower Xbox has similar specs, and who doesn’t like to extend a middle finger to Microsoft?
