PS3 Show me your PS3s!

My PS3 got the dreaded yellow light of death. It is a big issue that can affect some of the earlier generation of PS3s. It started by being slow to startup, then it would take several tries to start up and now it just stops, beeps and throws the yellow light instead of green. Apparently, being in warmer climates exacerbates the issue.
 
I broke my PS3, all that's left of it is the hard drive. (And a few good games)

So this thread is dedicated to those that still have a PS3 & those that lost one.
Hi ! Hope you're doing good. I still have mine but don't use it anymore. I'm planning on selling it. It stands in balance above my computer XD

That's really rough. I had a launch PS3 that got the yellow light of death within 6 months of owning it. It caused me to swear off Playstation for a short bit, until my launch XBox 360 got the Red Ring...

That whole generation of consoles was cursed. Apparently there were some defects in the pins of the CPU/GPUs of those consoles that caused issues with overheating and failures. It lasted a good 10 years, so I guess I was luckier than most.

Here's my second generation monolith style PS3:
