Where's the fun in having something new and shiny if you don't know what your latest gadget looks like on the inside?
Those of you waiting on a PS3 Slim probably haven’t gotten your brand new toy yet and so, have nothing to play with or tear apart. Until then, here's some nice pictures of the device torn asunder and laid out on the operating table for your viewing pleasure.
Our kind friends at Rapid Repair emailed us earlier to let us know they were planning a disassembly as soon as they got their hands on the device. Fast-forward a few hours and the lovely Maya let us know that they had gotten their PS3 Slim early. Check out the pictures of their disassembly below! For the full gallery and step by step instructions on how to find your way around the inside of Sony's latest console, click here.

cool o.O
where the heatsinks for the cpu?
at least the 360 comes with an self-destruct feature, you have to manually destroy the ps3. crappy playstation.
Looks like someone just voided their warranty!
Its rather impressive how much they managed to shove in there, im curious if its going to have overheating issues with that much shoved it and not much space for airflow, only time will tell.
I thought the Cell processor would much smaller, especially the 45nm.
where the heatsinks for the cpu?
Last picture, bottom left. This is exactly the design most laptops use, most of the ones I've opened anyway.
Well sense the kids have taken it apart. It is left to the grownups to put it all back together again.
ALMOST looks small enough to fit in a laptop..
The packaging of the Cell and RSX is still the same but it would be interesting to compare them to their previous versions with the heat spreader removed. At least that heatsink is a heck of alot smaller now
.
where the heatsinks for the cpu?
It uses a blower fan design with a shroud.
The chips are small, you're looking at a large heat-spreader.
Even on the inside, it has a fancy SONY logo on the cooling duct
This is a very elegant design... over the original PS3. Far simpler than the 360.
Curious... how easy it is to replace/upgrade the Hard Drive. With the PS3-ORG being an access panel. The big photos of PS3-Slim shows what LOOKS like an access panel for the HD (and its in the right place compared to the internal photos) - on this article, it doesn't seem to work that way. There is a screw that holds the HD cage in place, preventing an easy access panel from working. But that screw could be optional.
Really impressive to see so little stuff on the PCB... really interesting. Now, I understand why Sony made the new design and it is clear why they are saving a lot of money.
i always though the cell chip was a bunch of smaller chips floating around on a motherboard.
put some photos side by side of current CPU and GPU and old CPU and GPU.
actually I think someone has already asked this.
Now I'm waiting for what Ben Heck could do with the PS3 Slim.

Easy access hdd panel on the front vs fat PS3 with is on the back. Always had user replaceable hdd unlike the mess of an upgrade system MS has.

Quoted wrong person lmao.

Did it twice........
i still prefer the older fat brother.... i like the looks better, and mine is nicely modded
For those wondering, the HDD is rather easy to access, see this video.
I thought the Cell processor would much smaller, especially the 45nm.
its called an Integrated Heat Spreader, the actual silicon could be smaller, but it's covered, unless you pry off that IHS you cannot tell the difference (they would most likely reuse the IHS from the non slim, its not a big deal having too much metal protection)
The heat spreader was introduced in the x86 cpus with the Intel p4.
The metal plate "solved" several issues with ruined cpu's where heatsinks ruined the cpu. Another similar move was made by Intel when removing the pins from processors in the socket 775 series; less manufacturer risk; but i digress.
Amazing to see technology evolves.

THAT'S LIKE TOTALLY AMAZING RIGHT?!?!?
Looks like the inside of one of those 300$ Acers. I guess Sony wasn't lying when they said the cost of manufacture is now 70% cheaper.
Pretty clean and simple design. Not bad Sony.
Cheers to keeping the PSU inside the unit. No power brick to have laying around. Yay!
The first generations heatsink was a billion times more impressive, not that it matters :-P
This kind of reminds me of that dude from a tech site who stood near the front of a line for two days waiting to get a PS3 at some B&M store. The minute he walks out of the store, with hundreds of people in line still waiting (most of whom wouldn't be getting one due to sellout), he opens it and smashes it with a hammer. Anyone remember that? It about started a riot. Freaking hilarious beyond anything on that show "Jackass."
Now I just wish to see a new BenHeck PS3 Laptop..
It would look awesome! and slim.. ^^

that video was awesome and he did it with all three console launches too
