Thanks Nyko, now I have an unusable Xbox!

A little while ago, I wrapped my 360 in a  wood Oblivion Xbox 360 skin. Lately, I've been getting more RROD's than usual. I'd be in the midst of a game and it'd shut off with three red flashing red rings. I've had the Nyko Intercooler on my Xbox for the last couple years and, I thought, would make the RROD problem go away. Apparently not. So today, I took off the Intercooler.

Picture is of the Intercooler.

Nice scorch marks there.

Xbox 360: Received!

AH! AH! AH! I typed a great blog post and I pressed the Back button and its all gone. I don't feel like writing another post now.....

Still Waiting

So I phoned the XBox support line...and apparently they JUST received my 360. After almost 2 and a half weeks, they just got it. I'll be waiting another 2 and a half more to get it back...just wonderful. I'm stuck with watching movies & playing games on my computer till then.

I installed Debian on one of my computers, and was trying to transform it into a firewall ALL weekend. I'm not sure what I did wrong, eth0 worked fine, maybe it was just the NIC...or the stupid hub I have. I have plans of moving all my computer stuff elsewhere so.....

Xbox 360 Sent (Sending!)

Well I just got off the phone with Xbox 360 support. I got all the info and I'm sending my 360 out probably tomorrow (Yes, I have the Red Ring of DEATH!). Apparently I'll be getting it back in a couple days, hopefully not too long. I guess they're putting in the Opus mobo.

Heh, I just Spore [the game] came out on the 2nd so uhhh let's say I'm 'getting it' and 'numerous other movies' ahem.
