Just wanted to add, ...
i came home from that incident, pissed off about the time and gas money i wasted driving down there for NOTHING.
I got home, laid out my PS3 parts on the computer desk, did a simple Youtube search for
"PS3 arctic silver" and got this as a first result to the search.

I followed what this guy said, put it all back together, plugged the PS3 in and hooked everything up and so far, no over-heating problems.
The real test will be after a few hours use. But i did start watching a movie with it for a 1/2 hour or so, Land of the Lost. I think playing movies and of gaming puts a bit of a load on the CPU/GPU and again, worked fine.
I really dont use my PS3 for gaming all that much anymore but more as a media extender.
I download movies on the computer from newsgroups or Youtube, convert them if needed, move them to my portable 300gig USB external hard drive, plug that hard drive into the PS3 and watch the movies on my 37" HDTV.
Ive also upgraded the internal PS3 hard drive from its original 40gig to a 350gig drive so i can move favorite movies from the USB hard drive right onto the PS3 hard drive.
Also since having the CPU/GPU reballed [replacing the older original non-leaded solder with leaded solder] my PS3 is actually BETTER than new now.
Over the next few days i should be able to tell if i will still have over heating problems or if that last youtube instructional video did the trick.
