	Starting May 2026 all future PS2 fat kits (Rev B) use a topside mount. This no longer requires the metal shield swap or power supply removal as needed before. The toslink port also remains intact. There is both a cut and not cut option, with the not cut being a new fan backplate. You can convert your original kit to the new style with a few different parts. All you need is the the mini extension: https://www.pixelfx.co/product-page/mini-hdmi-extension-kit and the STL mount(s).		Starting May 2026 all future PS2 fat kits (Rev B) use a topside mount.
