LOL how do you do that? Cover the air-holes? I think this is a dangerous thing since you apparently often get refurbished old machines from repair. Good luck anyway. BTW it may be possible that the machines that are now on sale are already better but I think buying a used one will still be dangerous for the foreseeable future.

I'm going to close it up in my entertainment center, tape up the fans, and then play Gears of War for 10 hours straight. That should do the trick.

By the way, if you get a used one built 09/07 or later, you should be good to go. The manufacture date is right there on the console.

I hope you have a good excuse if you have to call the firemen over.
