From the 1st day I bought my Playstation 3 almost one year ago, I used to play it on horizontal. But like 6 months ago, I moved my set up to another desk and I wanted to check it on vertical. I can say that it's quite quite cooler on this position, since there's less contact with the desk and more contact with the air. I've read a lot of comments on the net which agreed with this opinion.
At first time I used to left a game case above when the Playstation 3 was off, to avoid dust coming into the Playstation 3 through the holes. Every time I turned it on, I removed the game case and all that. Unfortunately, one day I realized after a few minutes of play that I was playing with the game case still on the holes so I was on warning and I removed the case on 0 seconds. I was surprized that the Playstation 3 wasn't even hot, so I think this was one more proof about that the vertical position is quite cooler than the horizontal one. The problem is: from that time I have never used the game case above the holes when off, to avoid this situation in the future. So, what do you think about the dust coming through the holes on the up side of the Playstation 3 when on vertical?
Any of you had any problems with the dust on it?. Playstation 3 looks quite nice on vertical and it even recollects less dust on it's cover since less area is exposed to it, but when talking about the dust that comes into the sytem through the holes, I'm not sure if the vertical position is worse, since I really don't know if they're using some kinds of filtered fans or filtered area inside.
My system has always worked on perfect conditions, so no problem at all, but I'm just worried about using this position for its whole life and have problems about dust inside in the future. I've taken a few looks from the holes with a light focused on it and I really can't see much dust there into the system, seems to be it just goes to the outside body of the Blu-Ray reader and so on. But who knows.
What's your opinion?
