Is it okay to leave the Xbox 360 on?

well, altho i cant remember the site i read it all on,(it was a link on another forum i think...i'll see if i can dig it up) the point was pretty solid.

putting fans overtop of existing fans (unless the fans are synced up together) will restrict airflow. the site stacked up a couple of PC case fans ontop of each other as an example of the idea. the xbox tries to push the warm air out, and instead of pushing it out smoothly, the fan overtop of that fan blocks some air causing it to be pushed back past the original fan. the 2nd fan can only suck air out as fast as it gets it from the original fan anyway.

i dont know if thats really happening with the 360and intercooler. but the idea has been proven in cases of stacking fans before for things like pc fans and such.

and yea the reviews arent bad for it, which has always made me wonder. i've never used the thing myself so i cant say anything from personal experience. but the fact that the question of it is being debated and actually commented on by the makers of the intercooler, is enough to make me not want anything to do with it right now.

I know you can leave the Wii on for at least 30 hours.

I would not leave it on myself. It gets so hot you could fry an egg on it.

Mine usually crashes and is subject to slowdown after 5 - 7 hours of playing Oblivion. Which pisses me off to no end if I havent saved in a while.
