Dont buy any of that. Just keep you xbox ventilated. And NEVER move you're console with disc in tray.

That's good advice, intercoolers really aren't needed.

Exactly what he said.

If you are a clean person and dont throw your dirty underwear on it while its on and dont give it room to breath and do its thing you should be fine. :P

your 360 wont blow up. i have an intercoller but i never use it. one its loud and a few of my friends told me that it could burn the port if you dont plug it in tightly. so dont worry, your 360 will live. give it enough ventalation (space) and it will be alright. you should consider getting a warrenty also.

yer 360 wont blow up without an intercooler, but it's nice to have, it keeps it WAY cooler and ive never had it glitch or lag once since ive had it. like the others said, if it's well ventilated it's fine...but the intercooler is a nice bonus, it makes me feel good if i were to leave my 360 on all day :D

The only proper way to cool your 360 is by using one of these;

Amazon has them for $20 I believe.

dont buy one. i got one and it screwed over my 360. I got the red ring 4 times. i took it off and havent had a problem since. plus its much quieter without it.. if you have to just by a little mini fan an aim it at the 360.

blow up? no unless you strap a firework or explosive to it. Fry? if you place it in the oven with a descent temperature for melting.
