While our own Jason Chen is a bit too in love with the PS3 for these measures, the folks at DailyTech weren’t and took the huge, son of a gun PS3 apart. What surprises did they find? Nothing really; just a bunch of circuit boards, fans, and other electronic components. I must say that it does appear to be fairly easy to take the PS3 apart, a lot easier than the Xbox 360. Seven torx screws and whammo, you have the innards of the PS3.
