That dinky USB fan in the back is more so to get air circulation in the back of the entertainment unit. It really isn't disrupting anything with the 360.

But house hold fan pointing in 360= no no.

What about the bowling ball from Mystery Men? That's super awesome right there.

Negative, that's a nice setup, someday when I'm not poor as dirt I'll have something that looks similar.

I guess I can kind of see what zero is talking about, but I always thought the more cool air being put on the 360 the cooler the overall temperature would be, guess not. I'll play tonight we leaving the fan off then again tomorrow with the fan on and I'll compare.

Are expecting some kind of performance difference or something? Nothing is going to change. Just if there isn't proper air circulation, eventually it could potentially overheat and die. It isn't like the 360 is going to go faster when you take the fan off it...

I'm not expecting any kind of performance difference, all I am trying to do is keep my 360 as cool as possible so it lasts longer. I e-mailed an xbox rep and I'm just waiting on what he would recommend.

Yes... but actually, it's a skull walking stick that I got a frew years back. The rasta wig is a costume, and if you notice, the green necklace around it goes "along" with the rastaman getup.

I got that as a gift this past Christmas from my parents... I thought it was badass when I opened that gift. Totally didn't expect it.

I have my 360 lifted up an inch of the cabinet it is in so the air circulates across the whole 360.

Exclamation Intercooler
i had an intercoller. I think a small house fan works better.. the inetrcooler was loud and somehow slowed down my xbox. so dont spend the money when you can get a cheep small fan. also the intercooler didnt cool all of my xbox just a forth of it

Made it louder? Is that possible? When I got my PS3 I was AMAZED at how quiet it is. I had some friends over and said do you hear that? To which they replied no, a nd I said yeah...exactly. Then I turned on my 360, to which the apartment started to shake and we had a good laugh at that hunk of crap.
