For Sale: 3.55 Phat with Hardware Mods

I didn't really think I would get $900 for this, but it was worth a shot.
$650 will fund my next project, and I am willing to give up my system for that. Paypal will take about $25. I really don't want to sell this rig, but I have more fun playing with my soldering iron than with the DS3, so I am offering it.
[PRICE DROPPED TO $675] - Does not include shipping unless you are inside the USA.

I am offering my custom modified PS3 Phat for sale for $675.

-System is one-of-a-kind, modified using custom made parts. Has been featured on the front pages of PS3Hax, Hack-a-Day, and other sites.
-Has 4 temperature sensors: CELL (CPU), RSX (GPU), Northbridge chip, and intake air
-Uses readings from these 4 sensors to control fan speed.
-Displays all four readings plus fan speed on front display.
-Display is not visible when system is off; it appears there is nothing there until the system is turned on.
-Cell, RSX, and both heatsinks have been lapped and have fresh arctic silver 5 thermal compound.
-Memory and Northbridge both have upgraded cooling
-PS3 is model CECHH01, this is a "40GB" model with no PS2 game support and two USB ports.
-Hard disk has been upgraded to 500GB.
-System will ship with OFW 3.55 for legal reasons, but is easily upgraded to CFW/MFW or 3.70.
-System will ship with your choice of cooling system firmwares (there are 4 different firmwares that can be used, ranging from Cool and loud to hot and quiet).
-System has diagnostics port on the back that is useful for various tests. This port gives access to all 4 thermal sensors, fan speed control line, and the i2c communications lines used by the system firmware to measure the temperatures inside the RSX and CELL.

Here is a GIF of the display in action:

OK...I'll snap a pic when I get home. I assume that is a pic with the PS3 and the piece of paper...otherwise I could just upload a picture of a piece of paper using my cell phone.

is the PS3 still on offer?

[EDIT]: wouldn't it be cool if this was front paged headline could be something like Killerbug selling PS3 in order to raise funds for a project.

im really hoping to get this:
