NeoMayhem Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 It is just a computer, so if you make sure it stays cool, it will be fine ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted July 31, 2003 Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2003 it's fine, i've done it more than a few times. just make sure your xbox isn't next to something that gets really hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Dragon Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Stack two opposite edges of it on textbooks to give it some ground clearance. Other than that, you should be fine. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briandl79 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Not only do people leave them on overnight, people leave them on for months on end... There are people that use them as servers, folding machines, and many other uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGM316 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Grandmothers are to blame! Mine used to unplug EVERYTHING before going to bed, which instilled a terror in all of us that leaving something plugged in overnight would cause a meltdown and take half of the town out with it! I advise switching it off and unplugging it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
