Your wasting your electricity and time powering those cooling fans when you don't need them.

i dont think you need them unless you like...live in the dessert or something. no extra cooling or one cooling would be enough.

If you want to keep your 360 from heating just put it on wire shelves and make sure air can get at it from all directions. Whatever you do don't get a 3rd party fan for your 360 that you plug in the back. They are prone to making the 360 kick out so much extra power the fan jack can melt to the 360, not fun so don't get one of those, externally powered fans should be fine though.

The question is, how much does the electricity cost to run them, and how much did they cost to buy in the fist place, and is it really worth spending all that when, if disaster were to strike, you could get yourself an Elite as a replacement.

Didn't think about that did you? :P

dude you gotta get that **** off the ground!

in the middle, where it gets hot THE MOST, you gotta lift it off the ground or stand it vertically becuase that is where the problems originate.

Unless your xbox is set on a heated stove, you shouldnt need any extra fans, or cooling period.

That's nothing. I keep mine submerged in a vat of liquid nitrogen.

Seriously.
