I've just gotten a PS3 fat with YLOD, no leads, no controller, no harddrive, spare Blu ray drive of freecycle. The fix for YLOD seems easy, just waiting for a repair kit to arrive.

Nice, although be prepared for it to only last 3+ months before the YLOD returns.
Also the problems are not always the same as there are a few different things that can trigger the fault. What does the kit do? Most people I know strip the PS3 down and bake the motherboard in the oven to reflow the solder and repair the issue due to dry joint movement.
