PS3 Slim Cases?

I have a ps3 slim and the damn fan noise drives me mad.

I remember a while ago that lian li had a replacement case for the xbox 360.

Does anybody know if anything exists for the PS3.

Alternativily has anybody taken apart the ps3 and placed it in modded htpc case?

If a pre built case doesnt exist then I may go down thsi route.

cheers

Yeh the fan ramps up to full after about 15mins of gaming, it just annoys me as I have to turn up the sounds pretty high just to drown it out.

Blu Ray only is not so bad, I can still hear it on the sofa but I can just about cope with it.

I may crack it open and see if there is anything I can do to help silence it.

I can imagine it being a nightmare trying to find a sff case which has mounting holes for the ps3 board.

Never had a fat to compare it with. Guess these things are all relative, but compared to my pc it sounds like a fog horn.

Yes I think I am sensitive to it, I am one of those crazy people who once they hear the sound of it my brain kind of attenuates itself and can't let itself go.

It's took me 3 years (and much money) to get my pc silent enough for me.

Maybe I'm bored and just looking at an excuse to take my ps3 apart...
