So a new friend of mine happens to have a 40gb fat PS3 and it ran really loud while I was letting them play the Last of Us. So I offered to clean it. I've always wanted to open one of these up and tried at one point with my PS3 Slim, only to find I needed a special screwdriver. I hear the fat's don't need anything special to open up.

My question is, have any of you cleaned one out and what tips do you have for me to get it done?

I need to head to work so I won't be able to respond quickly.

There are several youtube videos how to take it appart, find one and just follow it through. I completely  disassemble mine when I clean it up, and it's as simple as disassembling a PC.
