Here's a good article on the PS2 from the Yahoo thread:
videogames.gamespot.com

It contains a couple pictures of the PS2 mainboard.

The only chip I could conclusively identify was the LSI Logic I/O controller and PS1 CPU. Presumably the Sony and Toshiba graphics engine and CPU are the two chips under the fans and heat sinks. There are a number of other smaller chips on the board, but the resolution of the images did not permit identification of the manufacturers. The DVD drive is separate from the mainboard, but there were no images of it, so one can't determine from that whether PS2 has a CRUS DVD controller.
