Good for you guys, then. I know they're sort of hit and miss, but they've definitely got a bad rap, sometimes rightfully so.
It could be your refurb, too, but who knows? Care to share the brand/model with us (/me

)? My box doesn't get used as much anymore since I'm at school, but I have no real aerated space to put it when it is being played, plus as I said before it's a real old box, so I'd like to see if there are any proven, good fans out there that might prolong my safety from RRoD since my warranty is now officially gone, I believe.
