[The Green Guy]

The copper heat pipe is pretty visible from the side of the unit. I would say take a peek at that to see what ya got. My new 360 is amazing cooler than the older one. I can play for hours and put my hand on top of the system and it feels cool. My old box would get hot (even the disks would be hot when I took them out) after a much shorter gaming session. Its still the damn nosiest system I've ever owned though. I can't wait until the PS3 hits its stride because it is definitely a better engineered, longer lasting piece of architecture.
