Umm...it's about as useless as all the other forms of extreme cooling people use, and no dumber.
PS: My PS3 sounds like a jet plane. I'm in the market for some silent cooling if anyone has any suggestions and I'm a bit scared of any Pelican or MadCatz coolers. Yes, I know it's not the PS3's fault, because I was dumb enough to put it into a cabinet with only a couple of feet of space on each side, but I didn't have a choice in the matter. I will be building some kind of fan assembly into my cabinet in the near future probably unless someone comes up with a better cooling solution. Oh and if I close the front doors on the cabinet in about 5 minutes the PS3 goes insane, starts beeping and tells me its going to shut down.
Personally, I haven't found many good games on ANY console recently including Wii, PS3 and 360. Seems like most games have lost something recently. Of course, I really like sports games but ever since EA dialed in their latest generation, I have been in the dark.
I too have been looking for PS3 cooling solutions. There seem to be some good ones on Amazon:
I would like it silent, but like Kelmer, I have it in a cabinate too.
Of course, even if you do not play games, it is still the best Blu-ray player out and for me, its DVD upscaling is fantastic. In fact, in my opinion upscaling regular DVD's makes me wonder why we even need Blu-Ray or HD DVD in the first place.
This is just plain "I'm bored and have nothing better to do wtih my life than make useless mods." There is no friggin reason to install water-cooling in a PS3. I've had mine since they came out and it hasn't heated up at all... and I've been running Folding@Home on it for the past 7 months, 24/7!
As to the "mine sounds like a jet plane," maybe you should return yours, mine is so silent you wouldn't even know it was turned on. Perhaps you've got yourself a bad box or you're keeping it enclosed in a confined space? Mine sits on on the bottom of my TV stand next to the DVD player and X-Box, wide open.

You can NOT have the console in an enclosed space. Get some ventilation on the cabinet ASAP if you must keep it inside.
