It seems that there are quite a few failures with the 360 and it seems that a large amount of them may be due to heat. Personally, I keep mine well ventilated and wouldn't suggest keeping it in a cabinent unless you are removing it when you play it.

When the warranty ends and the 360 dies you pay to get it fixed.

thanks for the answers lads, think i mite buy one of these cooling aids
do you know how i stand with warranty since i bought it of my mate without a receipt?
do they have some sort of date code in the serial number so i could get it fixed without POP? (like most mobile phones do)

As long as it is within 1 year of maunfacture (date on the rear of the console) and the warrenty seals are intact then MS will repair it for free or send you a refurb'd one. No proof of purchase required.
I know this cos I've bought 3 or 4 from e-bay and had them repaired for free.
I know this happens in the UK, but can't confirm if they do it anywhere else! _________________________________________________________ X-Box V1.1 - X2.6 & Xapter - 40Gb Maxtor HDD
