Also, any chance you could put up a description or maybe photos on wiring to the PSU 12v line? At the moment, I'm using an external 12V transformer, but I'd prefer not too.
Bit of a n00b, sorry..
Placement was the most difficult part of this project. If you open your PS3, you'll notice that the power supply and the disk drive are the two things that can get in your way. You want to put as many LEDs as you can over the flat parts, and keep away from the corners. The corners are the closest to the case and it's quite difficult to close if you have too many pressing on stuff on the inside.
The old PS3 has a translucent top that slides off, and then a plastic top under that. All the LEDs were hot glued in to be flush with the top of the plastic top so that the translucent top could still fit on.
My biggest tip would be lots of planning. I took photos of the top, and then of the inside, and marked problem areas to avoid. I overlaid the design I wanted and positioned it on Photoshop. I then printed the cutie mark in the size I needed, cut out everything but the outlines, and taped the whole thing to the top of the PS3 and drilled the holes.
It's a lot of work, but if you plan well you should be all right.
As for the power supply, finding a spot for 12v was easy. You're gonna need to open it, of course. But if you look on the bottom, you'll see two holes for the prongs that are on the PS3's motherboard. Use a multimeter to find a spot inside the PSU that connects to them. You can tell which terminal is ground because it will be shorted to the outside casing.
If you need any more help or pictures, please don't be afraid to ask!
