Proud new 360 owner

I was wondering whether this TV stand is safe to put my 360 in. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sauder-TV-VCR-Cart-Black/11016195The reason I ask is I hear you need to be careful in where you put the system so it doesn't overheat.

I have a TV stand that will be perfect for your new XBOX 360. Just send the console...

Just kidding ok.

Yes, it looks good to me. Just do not let the XBOX go too further in the shelf so it has room for ventilation...

I would think it wouldn't be very good for ventilation, you want to have about 2 feet clear from the back of the unit.

It is important the console "has enough room to breathe", meaning there isnt any wall that blocks the airflow.

Yeah something that TV stand doesn't look like it offers much of...personally I wouldn't chance it...

Edit: This would probably be a more safe bet, unless you need the wheels.

I recommend to have a TV stand with a hole at the back. That stand looks pretty decent and I'm not sure if you can punch a whole at the back for your wires and more ventilation. Maybe it's just the picture, but you should see if you can punch a hole at the back or maybe you don't even have to install the back side of that TV stand.

you will be fine, unless the room it will be sitting in is always abnormally hot, and assuming its a newer model.

- If it's an Xbox Slim, don't worry about RRoD. Even when it overheats, it fixes itself (like a robot xD)- Buy an Intercooler TS if you don't have a Slim. - Install games to your HDD weither you have a Slim or not. There's faster load times, prevents scratching your game while you play, plays a scratched disk, quieter system.
