Post subject: Heat Shield?
Reply with quote
 
Is the heat shield really necessary for the xbox to operate? i mean, will it like melt the case or anything since the power supply has nothing to absorb its heat? I would really like to get some LED and electroluminescent lights going through the whole xbox w/o the heat shield. (but of course I don't want to risk any kind of fire hazard Cool )

i had the same worries, but it works just as good without it, i think it takes the temp down a few degrees, it doesnt act as a "insulator"

But doesn't the heat shield always protect against static electrcity as well?

I read on a website that they had multiple purposes and that was one of them. I could be wrong though.

Seems like a metal sheild would conduct electricity. The plastic casing of the xbox will protect it from static. Plastic is an insulator Wink

Good call man thats the real deal here but most of all ask around most folks just chuck the shild to the side.
