I agree, thats a disc ruining waiting to happen. As far as cooling goes its fine except for maybe your psu, but for the sake of your games and your console move it to somewhere a lot more stable.

Carpet holds heat, move your power supply off the carpet. That looks plain old dangerous, what happens if you bump it while your playing. DANGER DANGER ... tidy up dude, put everything on a smooth hard surface in an easily accessable spot.
see the holes on the bottom of the Xbox on both sides? those are vents. none on the bottom, so ok if it stands vert.
You should show a pic of your TV, I love HD Toys.

Why not just hang it from the middle of your room?

People taking heating issues way to seriously.

Just don't put it were it is cluttered or around anything else that generates heat. Someplace with a little ventilation is nice. IE not in a closed cabinet.

if your 360 is having heating problems, its a defective box, mine, and many others 360's stay rather cool, after hours of playing my 360 isn't very warm at all..

i do agree, people are taking these overheating issues too crazy


if your box overheats, get it replaced.

I think you need 4 more cd cases, 2 in the front and 2 in the back.

The picture doesn't work.

Isn't that the truth.
