what is the point of the metal shielding on top of the xbox, i know the bottom one is probably used for grounding, but isnt the top one only holding in heat?? Justin

It is intended as a heat shield, but can be removed with no effect on your system. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

I was told by a wise one that top is ok...but never bottom..so keep that in mind while modding _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

the top is also intended to keep stray radio frequencys from messing with components of the xbox as well, as its not just a heat sheild lol
Thats why tuners in the t.v.'s got metal sheilding, to prevent outside interferences interuputing the signals. _________________

the reason i wanted to take it off is, i put in a bigger fan and its fine with the lid off, but when i put the lid on it would always rub, and i couldnt find where, i took off the shielding and boom the culprit...
