Never mind unpacking, never mind booting; PS3 disassembled

Because we don’t want some of you guys to void your PS3 warranty, we’re going to do you all a favor today. For a while, never mind pics of booting up the PS3, never mind the HDD drive. We’ve seen enough of those for now. What about the innards of the console itself? This is just way beyond hardware porn already. This is like blasphemy. Mutilation and dismemberment. I feel faint every time I see these pics.

Some of you guys might be able to stomach this though. It shows most of the PS3’s vital organs and displays them for the whole world to see. See the above pics, that’s what happens when you attempt opening your system up. The warning label, once stripped away, will show up the condemning “VOID.”

Below are the inner hardware of the console: the opened chassis, the BD drive, wireless LAN base plate, and internal power. There’s heat sinks, a cooling fan, and both sides of the motherboard. And then you have the chips. The EE+GS chip, which seems to be the one used to process PS2 games. Then there’s the CELL processor, and of course, the RSX chip (the pic with the four black chips surrounding a diamond pad is what’s under the RSX metal plate).

Thanks to z3r01 for tipping us off! So, without further ado, let the strip tease begin. To avoid a void, just click on the pic below. It’s now time to enter WARRANTY VOID territory:
