i see in your pic the xbox is standing up blocking important vent holes so that it may get the rrd and also its under a speaker that has a magnet in it right next to the hdd isnt that bad a magnet neer the hdd ? but ya nice setup tv is a bit small but its fine
The "RRoD" is the result of poor design, and newer models are much less susceptible to it. 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.

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.

Nice set up. Only concern is keeping that Moxi tucked in that space like that. Those boxes run HOT!

Thank you. Had the same MOXI a year and a half and knock on wood, no issues. I do have a usb fan blowing to the rear of the vent though.

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.

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.
