    I just keep it away from everything else. You may want to get a small fan to blow on it though. The hardware problem should be fixed now, so you shouldn't have to worry.

    I have a Nyko, but I just bought mine around Christmas so I'm pretty sure it had the problems worked out. The Nyko's work great but they make more noise than the machine without it.

    because it plugs into the power plug and the metal in the 360 got so hot it melted the plastic on the intercooler,i had to use a knife to pry it off

    i got mine from EB games..all i hear on mine is the disk spinning.

    or if u want to take a 20$ risk open it up and get on newegg.com and order sum small CPU fans and replace them..can evn get LED ones to light it up!

    and then void your warranty on a system that is 99% sure to fail regardless!!! GREAT IDEA!
