Hey,

So i got an old laptop cooler, the one the laptop sits on with fans at the bottom and hooked it to the usb port on the xbox... is this safe? is it ok for xbox? I have to assume it's better than carpet anyway! Thanks

I dunno about hooking it to the xbox, could be using up alot of power and may lead to overheating!? As long as its not vertical and lying flat you should get about with it!

Any kind of support that lifts it up from the carpet a few mm is enough. As long as its getting fresh air from ambient rather than hot recirculated air you'll be fine.
