Sorry but you are definately past the warranty. Some things to point out that I was unaware of is apparently the power block has a fan in it too and if it starts over heating then the console will also. So make sure your brick has breathing room as well. There isn't a problem with dusting your console off but I wouldn't suggest trying to get the dust from inside the console as to who knows what else you would be vaccuming up and risk drawing dust into say the disk reader lens (not very technical but I can't remember it's name). We had our first slim over heating all the time and resorted to buying a small table fan to constantly be blowing on it but in the end I think that threw more dust in it. With our GoW3 xbox we bought one of those fans you attach directly to the console (for $14) and it works amazing. 2006...I think that was the ones before the slim, well nyko makes an innercooler you can clip on that system too and I hear they work just as well. Hope I helped.wolfbm
Thanks, The brick has a good amount of ventilation, so it's probably not that. I had a look at some of the stuff about the attachable fans and everyone is saying they fry the machine rather than assisting in the long term. Any further help or ideas would be appreciated.

My Xbox 360, which I purchased in 2006, is having overheating issues which aren't being remedied by the official xbox recommendations. My xbox is in a very well ventilated area with plenty of breathing room, not near other hot objects, etc.

However, there is a fair bit of dust in my room, especially in that area, and I think that a lot of dust has gone into the xbox 360. Would it be advisable to attempt to clean this dust? If so, does anyone have a good way of doing this?

Also, I don't suppose anyone would know if I am still under warranty or how I could find this out? I have had some free work done in past for RRoD but nothing very recently. I would assume I am not still under warranty due to the age of the console, but if anyone has further information on this it would be much appreciated.

Don't think if I set my mind to not going bald or fixing my ugly that it'd work :P

I voted "No" but I'm thinking "Hell no" now.

[QUOTE="THE_DRUGGIE"]

[QUOTE="chansaet"] Having more hair than the next guy does not make you more of a man. chansaet

It's a display of having higher testosterone levels so, from a biological standpoint, it does.

In our modern society having higher testosterone levels than the next guy does not make a difference. There is so much more to being a man than that.

The physical body and it's traits seem like the best indication of the level of masculinity. Suggesting that having a strong character or some such makes oneself a man, indicates to me that a woman would be a "man" (which has obviously negative connotations in our modern society, as you put it) were she of these typically positive attributes.

Not much, really. I prefer the present to any instances in the past (essentially as a rule).

I thoroughly support you. I hate having my stuff checked and I never steal. They are often rude about it (such as in your story) and it wastes my time.

I've always liked the taste, personally. I can see why someone wouldn't like it, though I don't really understand why people are so desperate to get drunk (especially if they HATE the taste).
