have you had apart a ps3 before?

they certainly are not very pretty and not something which would look good with a window.

to put a window mod on you would only need some basic supplies. something to mark out the hole such as a marker or paper template you made, something to cut the hole such as a dremel and a piece of plexiglass, lexan or other clear plastic. you could secure it in various ways with one being that you oversize it and rivet it on by drilling holes around the window and through the plastic window itself (around the visible area) and putting rivets through. in such cases you would line the hole above the window with some rubber channel which you can find at places like frozencpu or xoxide for custom window kits. its also possible to buy some rubber channel which is larger and holds the window in place so that it looks more flush instead of recessed.

as far as the fan or heatsinks are concerned they are all proprietary designs and it would be hard to find any fans which will fit on them better or work better. however, it is possible to remove the heatsinks and use your own such as these photos https://www.google.com/search?q=cpu+cooler+on+ps3&espv=... show you. some people watercool or use cpu heatsinks on the chips instead since the stock fan really does a poor job of cooling.

some people have been known to even put additional fans in the fat ps3 case or move the ps3 internals to a new case with better airflow. a small pc case could be used and give you alot more room and better cooling. it will require some modding but perhaps you are up for that. you can see what some people did here https://www.google.com/search?q=ps3+in+pc+case&espv=2&s...
