While you might hear gamers complain about the heat produced by the PSP's big brother, the PlayStation 3, a brief polling of Joystiq editors revealed a distinct lack of heat-related PSP issues. Nevertheless, the handy hackers at AcidMods couldn't leave well enough alone and decided to forcibly install a cooling fan into a PSP. While the practicality of this mod is hovering at or near zero, the novelty of it is off the charts! That's like modding your Wii to make it double the size! Oh, wait ...

Can you overclock the CPU past the 333 mhz "switch" in the PSP?

If so, then there's a good reason for having a case fan.

Wouldn't your fingers get stuck in it?

So where does this fan derive it's power source?

Another useless mod.

I wonder how much shorter that would make the PSP battery :x

The point of putting a fan in is to overclock the heck out of the thing.
Therefor making the PSP a possible mobile PC running some type of Linux firmware in the near future.

They misunderstood when people said the PSP wasn't cool.
