Josh B, you are more than welcome...
you asking me about xbox360's rrod..
You are not alone.. Me, too I got rrod couple times on xbox 360. I recently bought three time xbox 360 console by this month after my second ole 360 for two years.
1. I know why xbox 360 got rrod after i witness my own console open by myself. MS or investor is totally pathetic idiot for designed console as x360 about airflow. not because of case design.
I wanted to curiously open the second console case which was rrod, what inside it is. I realized that there have two together metal case inside console shell case as no way for airflow enough. its characteristic behavior like concept of Microwaves designs, no way for air out like that.
2. take a look at my premuim console case (I exchanged tray for arcade console,) ha:
get it?
3. thats why I planning to mod & cut my case and some customize for more airfolw,
(i dont give a fuck about warranty if i opened it). see what the outcome after that mod case.
edit: I knew all slim case are small factor have similar issues, due overheat, because of improperly airflow designs or not enough the air out . like HP slimline PC or Shuttle XPC have some issues for overheat... if you dont believe, go gooogle and search for hp slimline issues.
