It's nice but one thing not to do is overheat it! I advise getting the intercooler (or something) instead of a game, My friend did that and his 360 broke down within 2 weeks of him getting it

I am on another forum and they recommend to only get the intercooler only if the 360 is severely overheating because the plug on the intercooler could melt onto the back of the 360. I don't know if thats true but 3 people said it has happened to them. I haven't had to worry about mine overheating since my room is quite cool. Also a google search showed that the users on the forums at Xbox.com also don't recommend it.

It's white, but it's one from Nyko.

I would recommend this one http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000H98C36 ... 86-0863834

It works well, it doesnt pull power from the 360. I think I might get it, cuz my friend told me it works well

I have a feeling that if the Nyko intercooler, which I put on it from since I started the thing up, doesn't work, I may result to a mega fan next to mine.

However, the intercooler does make a difference I've noticed. My Xbox still plays well, and its a lot less hot than if the intercooler is off.

However, regardless, my dad and I have come to the same conclusion: Microsoft did not think the 360 through.

Why would you fit it with an intercooler while it's still under warranty. Doesn't it void your warranty. I don't care if my xbox melts, even better, I'll get a new one

Otherwise it's pretty damned hot, especially since I keep it in the closet (little space around it).
