DIY PS3 Intercooler?

I am buying a PS3 soon. I'd like to keep it running cool = lasting long. But Prefab PS3 intercoolers are LOUD and don't last long.

I'd like to build my own using ballbearing cpu fans. But how do I go about doing so? What does the prefab intercoolers plug into to get their power source for their power?

You need a power supply if you using 12 volt fans (radio shack) or google it for a better price

I want to get the power the same way the prefab intercoolers do via the PS3. I need to know if it plugs inline with the power cord (being 120v) or via USB (which is what voltage)????????

Sorry!!!!

I finally found a close enough pic. It appears to get it's power via 120v:

But if it plugs in-line to the 120v connection it wouldn't know to turn on/off with the PS3, thus there must be another connection happening, to toggle it....
