same here, its cool, but warm air is coming out the back, i bought a fan today to cool my room down but does anyone know if its good or bad to have cold air blowing on it?

I play for fun, I play for the team, and I play to win.

Ideally the fan should be pushing air into the air intake vent and not where the hot air comes out, but the Xbox ought to appreciate it either way.

It amuses me how people seem to think the xbox is some kind of thermal sink, where heat enters and never leaves. The only way to let the heat escape is to shut it off!

The system has fans. If it runs for 5 minutes, it will run for 5 days. Or even 5 months.

lol 360s break down even when they're not on for 5 days.. hence why we're worried

Ice Cold
I keep mine in my basement and on top of a small stool.
My basement is kinda cold and since my Xbox is elevated and open, it lets out hot air very well.

A Halo 2 Glitch Master, "retired" since i couldn't find anything good in Halo 3, hoping for a come back. I'm a huge Marathon fan too. If you want to verse me, please message me through my Bungie.net profile.
My weapon of choice is the warthog (Driving); I'm one of the best drivers out there, so if i get my hand on a vehicle, you're going to wish i hadn't XD

April 20th I became one of the final 30 people to play Halo 2 online. Unfortunately I was kicked by Microsoft that day.

mine's doing great! the case itself is cool, the exhaust is a bit warm, but it's over all a great box with an x on it XD

it's my first and only 360, and it's still kicking (i still don't see why people complain about 360's)

if my xbox starts to get bad, ill just use a fan

Get a 12" fan, point it at the xbox. Profit?

Finally, someone who knows what he's talking about. The 360's do not just keep getting hotter and hotter the longer you keep it on. The poor soldering was the problem so even normal heat would cause the malfunction. If electronics get hotter and hotter, we'd all have been burnt to a crispy black char.
