i would put it in the rear seat fold down compartment, it would fit perfectly between the rear seats and trunk in that little opening, that way u can change games more easily than if it was mounted in the trunk.

You need to remember that all the next-gen systems, whether it be a 360 or PS3 need plenty of ventilation or you run the risk of overheating them.

my suggestion would be not to bother with this... just get a slim PS2 and toss that in your glovebox or something. You would be playing games on like a tiny 7" screen anyway, its not like you'd be utilizing the PS3 to it's full potential.

the only reason to have a playstation 3 in your car would be:
a) you're building a show car
b) you want the world to know you have a tiny *****

lol im such a hater.

Cool here is a closer shot...

i seem to be limited to 1 pic for a reply so here is another pic. i have LED backlighting behind the skipass frame. Everything is covered except for the right side area of the PS3 that has the DVD eject and power buttons. The frame is on a slant to accomodate swapping games easily. yes fiko you were 100 percent right.

modify plastic shell of the ps3 so it fits better? and you'll probably need something to cool it since it'll overheat in whatever cramped space you're going to put it in. i've heard of ppl water cooling the ps3, maybe that'd work for you.
