I posted this in PS3 Slim thread, that I put my PS3 in a open cabinet and put a Laptop cooler under the PS3, but it still very hot after 10 minute ON. Where should I put my PS3?

the air flow in and out is at the back of ps3 slim

consider putting it in an open space.. get a small table beside the cabinet perhaps

of course la, the fan is not that strong enough to circulate the air to the front, plus it is an enclosed area, with a little hole at the back I see, there are little or no air flow inside the cabinet, not good for your ps3. Ideally, you need to put it outside i.e open air area where there are sufficient cool air around.

Dun put PS3 like that. Your PS3 will die very fast. My experience is that it already run crazy hot in air conditioned room even when put in the open.

I recommend putting it in the open with minimum back obstruction. Put a small table next to TV shelf and put PS3 there. Make sure room has air-con at full blast when using PS3.

put the PS3 beside the TV is the best, or at the same level with the TV will do since it is a slim one.

Consider the noise level when put fan. Get the low RPM with good air flow rate fan.

I custom order media rack for my set up. First rack with PS3 and Wii will have no less than 6 fans pumping air out. They are those cheapo RM4 8cm fans from Sri Komputer. Will be wired parallel to one of those cheapo multi-volt adapters set at 12v. Rack will be arriving soon, will update picture when it arrives.

If you want to put the PS3 at the same spot, this is a good suggestion. Suck the hot air out instead of blowing cold air in. Put in two fans if you want but build the switch with a rheostat (like those dimmable lights) so you can regulate how fast the fan run.
