Hey guys i turned on my PS2 the other day and realised 'Damn thats loud' so do you guys know how many fans the PS2 has so i can clean/oil/replace it.
And does anyone know where i can buy me a new fan?

Thats just a stupid idea JC. You have to use fans and nitrogen would compeletely stuff the ps2 up

Thanks for your help guys. I opened my ps2 myself and got electricuted by the PSU and broke it.
But its ok i got anoter one from my friend who got 'Disk read error' he thought it was buggered so i got it for $20. Cleaned the lens and all is fine

As for the cooling with Liquid Nitrogen it wont neccesarily ruin it because its dry ice.
Take a look at this

It's not the dry ice you have to worry about - it is the water that condenses on the outside. Like the water on the outside of a cold can of coke on a hot day.

Oh yeah and liquid nitrogen and dry ice are different. Dry ice is frozen CO2 and liquid nitrogen is... nitrogen (N).
