Well, I was unhooking my 360 and packing it up. I'm going to my Dad's house today and he's never seen a 360. (I know; he lives in the stone age. Except for his 47 inch HD flat screen TV that he has that I get to play on. [YES. I can't wait.])

Anyway, I got to the brick in the power cord, to unplug it from the wall wire, and I found out something interesting that I didn't know before.

The brick has it's own fan. O.o On the end of the brick was a crap load of dust blocking some holes, and holes on the other side of the brick were clean. Air circulation? I think so. Anyway, I cleaned out the holes and my 360 started up slightly faster than normal. XD

Hope that can help. If only minor, but still help. :3

Also: Where's the best place to get inexpensive air blasters? (The cleaners; cans that blast air...forget what they're actually called.)

I don't know where to get an air blaster, but you didn't know the power brick had it's own fan?

lol, it's not like I really sat there and examined a power cord after just getting a 360 on launch day. >.>

yep, I use those all the time.
after a few seconds the can gets REALLY REALLY COLD.
like holding an ice cube.
so use it for awhile. then let it warm up for a second. then do it again.

they are genrally around $5

waste of money if you ask me.. but they're well worth it.
