My PS3 (US Motorstorm 80 GB w/ BWC) used to overheat as well. THen my HDD broke down because of this and I replaced it. Ever since I just use my PS3 outside of the rack and with plenty of space around it. I recommend this to you as well since the old models run hot easily and heat hurts the "ingredients" a lot.

Yes, sony actually recommend 6 inches of air flow all around. In the manual its written: 6 inches from any wall surface.
