For custom firmware you need either a phat or some of the early slims, but you can do pretty much everything you'd want to do with hybrid firmware, which can be done in any model.
The easiest method only requires you to open up a website in the browser, then install the hybrid firmware from a flashdrive. You also need a controller that works on the safe mode menu (like a real PS3 controller). I usually follow this guy's videos. He keeps them updated and hasn't steered me wrong on the triple, 360, OG Xbox and Vita
I haven't looked into it in a while, but it used to be one of those things where you had to be lucky enough to have a certain firmware.

Neat. Might have to bust out the ol' PS TRIPLE
Got a phat TRIPLE in storage. Do I need a burner or is there a way to just HDD that shit?
