PS3 fan reversal possible?

Hello,
I have an odd question about the PS3's fan...I am doing a VERY custom PC build and I happened to have a dead PS3 sitting around and the system I am designing already has a microcontroller board built in to control my CPU and GPU fans so I figured since the PS3 fan's speed control is handled via PWM (and since it is an otherwise nice fan) I would integrate it into my design. the problem i have though is that i need the fan's spin direction to be reversed from the stock direction. Im pretty sure there might be more to it than just swapping out the +12VDC with the GND line going to the fan but I figured i'd check here before just testing it at the risk of frying something to see if anyone knew how...
