Nice but I don't recommend you put it in somewhere as tight as that space.
Often the manufacturer will say to make sure there is enough breathing room on top - giving a specific measurement in inches/cm.
I chose not to listen, and was wondering why my nice denon avr would act strange sometimes in the summer - and I eventually realized it was due to the heat.

I bought one of these cooling fans, specially designed for things like this, and it has not been a problem since.

Your unit might not have issues like mine, your room might be ice cold always, but... if yours breathes through the top, I really recommend to get a fan to increase the life of your avr :)

Yeah, I can move that shelf up another inch. Disabled all the zone 2 stuff since it continues to get hot even when the unit is off.

I dont think I would ever buy a $130 cooling fan, I would just put a 120mm fan or 2 in the back for pennies of the cost if it became an issue.

A backwards compatible PS3. It was in the display case at Goodwill, with all the original cables and a Sixaxis. I asked them how much, and they said $10, like what? I could not buy it fast enough!!!! So excited.
jesus, that's a nice deal. I think even if it wasn't working, it would be worth more than that.

Oh, that's the best part! It does work, and it's on the latest FW. The void sticker is torn, though, so I assume someone has opened it up in the past. If these are the YLOD prone ones, it makes sense. I haven't used it yet, but I do want to hack it, after I learn more to make sure it's all okay and won't die randomly or overheat.

almost no early ps3 or xbox 360 has survived with no repairs due to the infamous y/rlod. when I opened up firs myt gen xbox 360 I had, I could tell it had been opened in the past, so it's pretty much to be expected.
