I grew up in a city with temp reaching 48 Celsius in the summer

Of course this wasn’t very good for electronic devices and hence every console I bought died with a year of over heating.

For my PS2 I managed to extend the lifetime by placing big blocks of ice in a tray underneath it and the console sitting on top on a rack to avoid contact.

I had to replace the ice every hour but the system worked well enough till the console died eventually of water damage.
