Just keep it cool and you should be fine... My first 60Gb is still trotting along and the amount that was played MS would have had to give me about 4 new xbox's for the price of 1 PS3.

yeah that what ive benn doing, keeping a fan on it, the only reason im asking is my ps3 has been loud like a tractor.
I'm gone say this I was thinking the same thing I'm taking care of my ps3 im keeping it properply vented and dusted. Do not play for long hours and only plays it on the weekends because Im out of town during the Week. Well I have a 60gb model and bam out of the blue ylod and then I started doing my research. All 60gb models have a design flaw and you will eventually get the ylod im sorry but its going to happen. So to believe it can't happen to you is a bit foolish no matter how much you care for it there is a design flaw internally.There is a lot of outraged people who think sony should fix the systems for free or replace since we all spent around 600s to purchase the 60gb and I fully agree. It does not have anything to do with neglect or wear and tear on your system pure design flaw. Even people in Alaska got ylod so my best advice is backup your data once a month and if your system just shuts off randomly and goes to stand by get your disc out of the system asap. The system may come back on and if it does take your game out and turn off your system.
There is a fix that you can do that is posted on youtube that requires few tools and a heatgun.However it does not fix yourPs3 foreverthe fix usually last about3 months until it ylod again. My friend had to fix his twice already so he got sick of the trouble is going to buy a slim model.It will save you money by not having to send it to sony, lose all your data, and get a refurbished ps3.
I don't know much about the 40gb but I would buy a slim model and get an extended warranty if I was you. I'm gone fix my ps3 60gb but still buy a slim because I dont want the risk of having my files gone or having my game stuck inside the system.
