Amen to that. Heat is always the number one negatively factor. [bold]MESSAGE:[/bold] If you have a modified xbox, mainly those w/larger hdd I strongly advise purchasing a stronger fan, doing like Ichi and getting an Xtender, or taking the cover off after you've playing 9 hours straight. Do something to keep that large hdd cool. MOST IMPORTANTLY, make sure you have your EEPROM backed up.
