2. This is a BIG ONE. NEVER EVER EVER EVER move your system with a disc still in the tray, it WILL **** your laser up.
3. If your one of those people that changes the harddriver out alot, make sure your very careful when putting it back on, because if you **** that thing up you are screwed.

Trust me, i have been through two systems and a hard drive. I had one of the first ones to come out that had the bugs in them, the second one lasted we about 4-5 months outside its warrenty, so i got revenge on gamestop/microsoft, and fixed it enough to get the harddrive and system work through one test at gamestop, when i traded it in for an elite. Since then my system never moves, and works fine all the time!
understand # 2 and 3. but why would you want to insulate it, wouldnt that just cause overheating, and or do you mean ventilate?
