How much does a Water Cooler typically run that would work for a ps3? I have been looking into those too and they are pretty pricey.
Hmm well if you get the right parts etc I don't think you will be spending too much. I figure about 150 USD is enough for a water cooling solution, a price I would pay personally to keep my PS3 alive, its a Phat 60GB so some may know why I want it to survive as long as possible, like maybe you since you have one too .

Reball is what alienkid state, but just think of it as replacing all the old solder with new solder, as solder in PS3s are lead free and that gives them a lower melting point, and so the lead free solder is replaced with leaded solder which has a higher melting point so that the PS3s Chips wont have much effect on it.
