This list | This list might be incomplete. Not every model number or every motherboard for any chassis type might be listed. For fat models (except the early japanese-only SCPH-1X000 consoles), the chassis type names are well known, mostly from the service manuals. | ||
For slim models, it's mostly guesswork based on a small chassis type indicator in the bottom right corner of the label. However, the only publicly known slim PS2-service manual (for a SCPH-70000 console built around the GH-035 motherboard) mentions another name for the K-chassis: LCG-chassis. Both, "K-chassis" and "LCG-chassis" are used as descriptors throughout this service manual for the same chassis | For slim models, it's mostly guesswork based on a small chassis type indicator in the bottom right corner of the label.
