How can I keep my Xbox 360 in good shape?

How can I keep my Xbox 360 in good shape? I just bought it 2 weeks ago and I really want to keep good care of it. So can anyone give me some advice to keep my Xbox 360 in good shape?



I've also noticed there is always hair and dust on top of my Xbox 360 somtimes and when I wipe it off with my hand it ussualy grows back. Is it because my Xbox 360 is sitting on the carpet? Can somone also tell me how to prevent dust getting into the Xbox 360 so it won't get damaged, and also a few other tips to keep my Xbox 360 in good shape?



Thank you!How can I keep my Xbox 360 in good shape?
1. play 2-3 hours only a day



2. dont cover the air holes



Dont use the nyko, Use the AC



:P
Here are some very good tips

1. Keep off from carpet

2. Buy an intercooler if you play a lot

3. Don't cover airholes

4. VERY IMPORTANT--- Lay it down horizantely because if it tips it scratches up your game beyond repair.

5. make sure nothing is on top of the 360

6. If the left side is hot dont worry the motherboard is on that side so it will always be hot, but if it burns your hand turn it off Before you get the Red Ring Of Death

I play Xbox 360, and I would NEVER put mine on the carpet. I suggest standing it upright with the hard drive on the top. Wipe it down daily with a dry cloth too keep dust from collecting and make sure it is in a cool room, especially in the summer.

First off, pick your 360 up off the carpet. The fibers from the carpet will do 2 things, 1 is block the holes, and 2 is the fan inside will suck up tiny microscopic dust fibers which will accumulate over time and is no good for the system. 2nd, just dust it regularly with a clean dry cloth, it is a

piece of electronic machinery so dust should always be considered the enemy. To clean the inside out, buy the compressed cans of air they use for cleaning keyboards, and follow the directions on the can or damage can result. Most importantly keep it in a ventilated area as to prevent overheating.

You should allow a minimum of six inches clearance space on all sides (back included) to provide sufficient air circulation. Lastly, and some may say this is a bit excessive, but if you want to keep dust from settling in the unit cover it when NOT in use. 1 more thing, REGISTER IT AT XBOX.COM.

No matter how good you are to your 360, some systems (from all generations) will suffer a system/ hardware failure, also known as the RED RINGS OF DEATH (RROD) Microsoft has fixed both of my consoles free of charge and all i had to do was ship it out to them (free) I got my consoles back in a week.

I'd put it in a well ventilated TV-Center and try not to use it for extended periods of time. People insist the Red Ring of Death is caused by the glue holding together the motherboard coming apart or the motherboard warping or something.
keep it clean
my tips are...

1.buy the intercooler, the intercooler will keep your system from overheating, and destroying the console

2. get the 360 off of the carpet...preferably on a table...just away from the ground
I would suggest moving your Xbox 360 off of the carpet, they tend to get hot during extended periods of play. Wiping the exterior with a dry cloth is a good way to get rid of the dust. I have NYKO intercooler and it works great at cooling the 360 down, I would recommend getting it. Also make sure that you do not move/shake the console while a disc is in the optical drive this can cause serious problems.
