Posted this on beehaw/games a few days ago, but wanted to share the amount of dust inside a PS3 that I bought O_O (rammy.site)

The prior owner was a teenager, so you can do the math about why it was this bad. But I also have to say that Sony clearly made so many design flaws with the "fat" PS3. The shape of it was clearly meant for aesthetics, and not function. There are so many hidden places for dust to collect, and the airflow pattern isn't optimal. These things are notorious for overheating.

Even after I cleaned it and replaced the thermal paste, it still runs pretty loud.

Unfortunately, a ton of games are still locked on the PS3 and not even available on PS+ Premium streaming, so having a PS3 is one of the only ways to enjoy those games (besides emulation).
