That looks good! The one thing I have never liked about the PS3 is the glossy black paint. I'm not sure why, but it just always looked kinda cheap to me. Your's looks better.

He didn't cover any of the vents, so no. If anything, it would allow for more heat to dissipate.

The blog post on qj.net is the real images. The one on gizmodo aren'this pictures.

How did you get the letters to stay the original color? I can only imagine tape would be a pita.
