How should I clean the fans on PS3?

Question

My 40gb PS3 has recently started making dirty fan noises. On my PC I would remove a side panel and clean everything out with a can of compressed air. But I'm unsure if this is the correct procedure for a PS3.

So: What is the best practice for cleaning the fans on PS3? Can I just push compressed air straight into the vents, or should I take it apart first?

Answer

I have cleaned my PS3 vents several times with no damage done... I've discovered that the PS3 is an easy to open/re-assemble system.

In my case I think is better to clean the PS3 internally ...

you can follow this video ... it shows how to open the case of the PS3 in order to clean it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6A6V7LlReI&feature=related
