Dudes,
a million thanks for all the great advice. I'm just a little confused here; so does my PS2 suck in air from the front or back (it's a V7)?
The filter idea is great, Khafan and ihaveanosebleed. But, where do I get something like that (I haven't heard of them, at least)?

Also a block of coarse foam behind the fan ( make sure it coarse or ps2 processor will get hot) does away with dust inside....run lens cleaning disc through ps2 once a month ( 3 times dry then 3 times wet ).

I'll be doing the same from now on, Ottoman. Actually, I wanted to use an inch-thick piece of styrofoam to block up the fan, but thought the PS2 might overheat. Well, since you've been doing it and it works fine, so I might as well.
One thing's been bugging me, though. My PSX has been working almost perfectly for more than five years, through daily abuses of up to 7 continuous hours, accidental trips and nudges, with almost no maintenance at all (never even used a CD cleaner on it), and it's still working fine (slower, noisy loading, but alive).
The PS2 seems to have such a short lifespan compared to its original.
Anyways, gracias to all
