~~GREAT TIPS TO PREVENT RING OF DEATH !!!! READ!~~
============================================
these arent my tips
CREDIT:
http://www.squidoo.com
ME I ADDED SOME TIPS TOO I THINK REALLY HELPFUL
1. Never put your Xbox 360 inside your entertainment center.(not enough air flow)
2. Never place your Xbox 360 on a carpet floor. (The carpet absorbes heat and doesnt let the Xbox 360 disipate the heat as fast as it should)
3. Never place your Xbox 360 in a closed cabinet while playing.
4. Keep you Xbox 360 away from any other heat source. ( computer, dvd player, Back of TV (dont ask) or any other electrical devices.
5. Use compressed air to blow dust out of your Xbox 360.
6. put something under your POWER BRICK < mine :)
7. never put your xbox in a crowded place!~ <MINE
8. ALWAYS, PLUG your power brick DIRECTLY to the outlet never use powerbar <MINE~!
9.WHEN THERES A THUNDERSTORM IN YOUR AREA TURN OFF YOUR XBOX 360, to be extra protective unplug your xbox 360!!! rumours say: when it thunders or something and lights GO OUT IT CAUSES RROD < MINE :)
============================================
FINISH!
===========================================
OKAY GUYS HIT ME UP IF ANY QUESTIONS JUST POST HERE IF YOU NEED HELP! i think i covered most stuff , i have currently send in my xbox 360 to microsoft takes 3-4 weeks to get back for me a week since im in texas and repair center is in texas/dallas.

Other User Tips:
cool. Another helpful thing is to put a fan next to your 360 ;).
Also, BUY AN ELITE. Elites have fans. I have an elite and i keep my 360 on my 3rd floor (hottest floor) in a cabinet next to my dvd player and basicly follow none of your tips...and its fine!
lol i love my elite :). But I might be more careful now that you have told me this. Rep++
