PS: My PS3 sounds like a jet plane. I'm in the market for some silent cooling if anyone has any suggestions and I'm a bit scared of any Pelican or MadCatz coolers. Yes, I know it's not the PS3's fault, because I was dumb enough to put it into a cabinet with only a couple of feet of space on each side, but I didn't have a choice in the matter. I will be building some kind of fan assembly into my cabinet in the near future probably unless someone comes up with a better cooling solution. Oh and if I close the front doors on the cabinet in about 5 minutes the PS3 goes insane, starts beeping and tells me its going to shut down.]]>Oct 11th 2007 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/
I too have been looking for PS3 cooling solutions. There seem to be some good ones on Amazon:

I would like it silent, but like Kelmer, I have it in a cabinate too.

Of course, even if you do not play games, it is still the best Blu-ray player out and for me, its DVD upscaling is fantastic. In fact, in my opinion upscaling regular DVD's makes me wonder why we even need Blu-Ray or HD DVD in the first place.

As to the "mine sounds like a jet plane," maybe you should return yours, mine is so silent you wouldn't even know it was turned on. Perhaps you've got yourself a bad box or you're keeping it enclosed in a confined space? Mine sits on on the bottom of my TV stand next to the DVD player and X-Box, wide open.]]>Oct 11th 2007 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/We are Sony...You will be assimilated...Resistance is futile...]]>Oct 12th 2007 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/

Since I actually "researched" my answer, here's some accurate information.

For Liquid Helium:

At atmospheric pressure, it has a temperature of approximately -452°F (132 degrees colder than the freezing point of liquid nitrogen).

That being said, unless your measurement of the temperature of liquid helium was performed in some exotic location such as 8 A.U. from the sun, I could'nt possibly see how you got that result.

And as for Alex, learn how to spell when your trying to sound smart will ya? physicians? or physicists? Big difference there buddy. *rolls eyes*

As for my opinion for the post itself, I don't care how hot that PS3 gets. As long as it's freaking working!]]>Oct 11th 2007 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/
If you're going to call someone an idiot, at least learn the difference between "your" and "you're".]]>Oct 11th 2007 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Even if you have a fast comp your still limited by your upload speed]]>Oct 11th 2007 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/Oct 11th 2007 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ps3-gets-cooled-down-dumbed-up/

It's pretty sad when the only exclusive game that makes me want to buy a PS3 is Ratchet & Clank.
