Bizarre PSP mod adds a cooling fan, utility in question
The overheating syndrome has struck just about every area of consumer electronics possible, and while spinning that UMD might get your fingertips ever-so-toasty, we haven't heard any mass outcries of PSPs getting hot enough to cook breakfast on, but apparently none of that matters. In a rare case of besting an already questionable mod just days ago, this DIY installation is a real head scratcher, as Acidmods details how to install an actual cooling fan onto the rear of your Sony handheld. Your guess is as good as ours as to why this hack-job is actually beneifical, but if your only alternative is obliterating your PSP with a sword, we guess we'll have to recommend you hop on over and get your hot gluing on -- but only after you've mastered the art of stuffing three AAA cells into its battery pack, cool?[Via Joystiq]
PSP mod inexplicably adds a cooling fan
While you might hear gamers complain about the heat produced by the PSP's big brother, the PlayStation 3, a brief polling of Joystiq editors revealed a distinct lack of heat-related PSP issues. Nevertheless, the handy hackers at AcidMods couldn't leave well enough alone and decided to forcibly install a cooling fan into a PSP. While the practicality of this mod is hovering at or near zero, the novelty of it is off the charts! That's like modding your Wii to make it double the size! Oh, wait ...[Via PSP Fanboy]

However, if you need to play your PSP on a hot summer day, you may want to check this out. Regardless of its practicality, it's certainly an ingenious piece of work.[Via PSP GadgetZ]See also:Coming soon: Chotto Shot night vision
Power your PSP with a trio of AAA batteries
For those of you who just can't get enough playtime with your ever lovin' PlayStation Portable, and have a knack for running low on juice while not even remotely close to an AC outlet or recharging venue, here's a mod that can offer you some battery powered backup for your handheld Sony. Not at all for the faint of heart or the novices in the house, this battery hack joins the incredibly long list of hackerations that we've seen come the PSP's way, and while it takes a bit more effort than just picking up the X2, we're sure the bragging rights alone make it worthwhile. The crafty gurus over at Acidmods have apparently found a way to gut, re-wire, and completely transform your average PSP battery pack into a vessel that can hold a trio of AAA cells in order to power your bantam machine. Admittedly, this ranks pretty far right on the DIY difficulty scale, so we wouldn't recommend risking your life on this one unless you know quite a few tricks of the trade, but if you've nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon than create a battery pack out of a battery pack, the read link is waiting for your attention.[Via PSPFanboy]
