I'll work on getting a bigger plasma, repositioning my XBOX that's been there for 3 years so it doesn't get rrd, move my XBOX. Anything else? Glad it's fine for ya rofl. | |

There are actually two rather powerful magnets INSIDE the hard drive. | |

I highly doubt the orientation of non-defective Xbox's has any significant, measurable impact on its likelihood of hardware failure. Our Xbox has stood upright for years without a problem, while I have several friends who orient it horizontally and had to return it for repairs. Personally, I think there's no correlation.

Sparks, NV | Re: My Entertainment Center. True. If you look you can clearly see that this is a Halo Limited Edition XBOX so yes, it is a newer model. I have never had an issue it standing upright for 2 years now. | |

| Re: My Entertainment Center. That's probably helping it. When I had my unit, it was in a space about that same size, though my shelf was closed on the back. I'm sure that had a lot to do with the high heat I experienced.

Sparks, NV | Re: My Entertainment Center. If you look on the back or at least on mine, there are 2 usb slots so you could even run 2 fans if you wanted to. They are very inexpensive and if you get one like mine, you'll get a cool blue glow from behind the unit. | |

2 edits | Re: My Entertainment Center. I have. The casing is original with Altec 6 tweeters and Elite Series Mids that I upgraded. Yamaha sub is in the corner behind the file cabinet. I like the old school look over the new modern speakers. | |
