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?

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.
