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

[Brandon Live Veteran]

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.

I have the same TV :) I'll post pics later.

insanity.

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.

[adam.sproul]

I have had no issues with any overheating. I agree I think it is a very small percentage of systems.
