I never run folding for long periods with my 60GB. I'm waiting on a slimline before I do any 24/7 folding. That being said, the new 80GB models are 65nm CPU/65nm GPU are extremely cool running.
I would wager it'll be a good year before a cooler PS3 comes out, and it very well may be a 45/45 or 45/55 slimline.
I would score a 80GB PS3, since there's a new slimline PS2 available now (with integrated powerbrick + super low wattage), if your old one dies. I would sell the broken PS3 to someone willing to get it refurbished... 60GB models are rare, and it probably won't be hard to ebay it for a good $100 USD or more.
