Don't think you can fit a HDD the PS2, they used memory cards. The fan you could probably get off ebay or any other fan of that size you can get from anywhere.

The fan should not be too much of a problem to source from places like Maplin's, CPC Farnell etc.

You need to measure corner to corner, and the thickness of the current fan, to get the sizes you need, to find a replacement.

As for the hard drive, found the following, which may prove useful.



You will also need a Network Adaptor module as the above video shows, which I guess can be easy to find on e-bay, and also note that some Seagate, and nearly all WD drives do not play well with the PS2, info which is here: http://www.hdadvance..._how-to-use.htm

For the slim versions of the PS2, it can still be done, but more work is involved, as shown here: http://www.joystiq.c...ve-to-your-ps2/
