Planning to clean very old ps3
Add new thermal paste.
Be careful of the ribbon cable latches, they're very delicate and if you break one then that's about it for the PS3.
If you're opening it you might want to take the opportunity to switch the fan and the power supply to the more efficient versions (you can get them on eBay). It wouldn't hurt also to mod it with side fan.
Keep it stood up, laying it down makes it run much hotter due to what laying it down does to the airflow.
Basically just run a few searches and you should be able to find all the info. through google but as I say, take care with the ribbon cable latches and change the thermal paste (it almost certainly needs changing by now).
If it's backwards compatible buy Stunt GP and play it with the camera pulled right back (it's a little tough to get into but it's totally worth it). Any Dreamcast owners reading this last bit, it's like a slideshow on the Dreamcast (I know) :0/
