A mate of mine has just posted this up on his FB account. He's a talented electrical engineer of sorts (I'm a soft handed office boy, so I'm told, so I don't actually understand what he does - panels or something) renowned for his ghetto fixes, but this really is something else...

Unless his PS3 was switching itself off it doesn't need help cooling.

Also you can't stack fans and increase performance drastically. The orignal fans will be restricting the airflow of the new fans, so it probably isn't doing any real good anyway.

If your ps3 was switching off point a fan at it! Seriously the area around the PS3 stays hotter than the rest of the room so moving this warm air away from it has a positive effect.

I remember the PS1 used to work better upside down. It looked stupid though. As does this.
