Your custom shroud is sweet man you should get a pat on that badboy and find a company that will make them for you, i would buy one lmao. Or even have some of the proceeds go to 360-hq like put a custom logo on them and that will get more people to visit this site too. If you can msg me the dimentions and all that i have people over in china that can make these for us... as i have had custom things made from my source for awhile now... That is a sweet setup helps i bet with the air flow...

UPDATE...
Mine started locking up in game more often then usual so figured what the hell, cracked it open figured it was probobly pretty dusty and maybe some guk on vents was blocking some airflow. Good thing I did, it was a mess in there.. The first pic is one of the heat sinks, look at all the dust! that part that looks like an old peice of tape is actualy a thin layor of dust forming what looks like a piece of silk, and we use air filters in the house! Wonder what yours looks like?

Im not concerned about the warrenty, already sent it in once after RROD and if this one dies will just upgrade to an Elite anyway.
I would like to go ahead and move forward with water cooling it and adding some other mods, but have to wait till I can come up with some funds, for now I have it set up with top and face removed, and a small but powerful fan to the right and above blowing cool air into the system when playing, and I keep it dusted now as well. since doing it this way I notice when I eject a game disk after a long session is now comes out cool, before it would be pretty toasty. everything stays cool now.

My Xbox 360 is getting hot like hell each time I played over 2 hours. And I am now playing some free online games and PC mmo games.
