My Xbox 360 Setup

I have a Samsung 26" LCD HDTV, next to the 360 is my Media Center, green Xbox on the other side, Sony DVD Recorder/VCR under the TV, plus you can see a Gamecube and Playstation 2 at the very bottom. What you can't see is sitting behind the TV and that's the Logitech 2.1 200W speakers I use :) Currently the 360 optical is hooked into the MC's Audigy 2 and outputs via the speakers, the rest of the stuff comes from the TV's RCA audio out and into the Audigy 2 to be outputted to the speakers. I just wish I had more room to space things out and put them where I want them too, oh well, this will do for now. I just wish themes were free for the 360. =P

Holy :| lol :)

Well wow, if you guys consider that setup to be Jesus' setup then I'm a happy camper. I have a Samsung 61" HDTV DLP, but alas.... No 360 just yet.

Is it the 62HMX85? Cause I have the same TV then :)

I hope your 360 doesn't over heat. I don't think it's a good idea to have it crammed into the bottom of that tv stand.

Honestly, despite the class action lawsuit and other things brought on by the people with the overheating XBox 360 systems, I think the media and mass relay of information of the internet hyped up the pandemonium of the XBox launch problems. (Not to mention, a handful of cases is enough cases, for sure.)

I know four people, besides me who have the XBox 360 and just speaking to people online when playing stuff like Project Dark Zero--it doesn't seem as if the problem is so widespread. At first I thought that maybe MSFT was trying to make it seem insignificant with the term of 'small percentage' used, but I don't think it's too farfetched, seeing that my experiences with others has showed that it really isn't prevalent within those around me in the real world and those whom I've encountered and befriended on Xbox 360 LIVE.

I'll have to check that, but I know that mine is different from threedaysdwn. Mine has a larger bottom area (where the speaker is) and in general seems larger. Possibly because if I remember right, I got it earlier this year... I think the one he has is a newer model.

*goes to check model*

Okay so this helps... The back of the TV says: Feb 2004 Model: HLN617W

I know the overheating issue isn't as wide spread as the media is making it out to be...however the 360 does need ample breathing room to keep it cool. It would be tragic for it to smoke considering how damn hard it is to get them.

    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
