    Over 4 Weeks ago, I think I give a little update!

    Unit is still running just fine, I altered the casing a little, put it back together and now it has a crazy (natural, passiv) air intake.

    Played a couple of games through like ODST, Ballad of gay tony, lost and the damned, a little bit of bad company again... Not much else atm because 99% of the games suck.

    I have a hard time getting that box to die once again, the case stays incredible cold if played from HDD. If the DVD drive is active it warms up a bit but other then that it's pretty futile for the heat to build up.

    Well, not much else to say really. It works, it works better then it did before and is pretty damn cold. But of course its also loud, but if placed correctly my sound system just anal rapes the fan noise with a nightstick.

    Because you cant put lead in a childrens toy, which is how the 360 is viewed.

    EEEWWW!
    get a new oven! (my eyes were whored out seeing this as the oven would be 'baking' an m$ taco)
    ...
    man...just, no!
    ....
    in any case...
    1, excellent that such a ballsy/DAFT move payed off..
    2, the console still works! (you're the first i've met that got their m$ pretzel still in the game)
    ...
    3, for the boards..
    DO NOT DO WHAT'S MENTIONED ABOVE, DO NOT BAKE YOUR 360 MOTHERBOARD IN AN OVEN!
    GET IT REPAIRED PROFESSIONALLY BY THOSE WITH A WORKBENCH, TOOLS, REFLOW STATION AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, EXPERTISE!
    .....
    and don't do shit like the 'penny' trick, the 'towel' compressor OR that goddamn mess known as XCLAMP! DO NONE OF THOSE!
    ...
    [edit]
    typo...

    Incorrect, it's because of RoHS standards for electronics. (Yes I know this post was made almost 5 years ago)
