    Whilst that is a very good idea if he's anything like a lot of young lads he'll have it in pieces and the heatsink off, repasted and put back together in 20 mins lol. He'll probably flash it too whilst hes there and add some LEDS to the controller whilst waiting for the paste to set.

    Mean while most us are still trying to get the damn case off still after an hour lol

    He takes that case off he's voided the warrenty..

    What you do is say you've got to send it back to MS and he'll have to wait for it to be repaired.... Then just give it back when he's behaving himself.

    You could confiscate the Hard drive that way they are unlikely to play xbox at all!

    Everything will be ok in the end, and if it isn't ok then it isn't the end :)

    On your router block the following ports

    TCP 80

    That'll stop web browsing for everyone else in the house.

    On your router block the following ports

    UDP-3074
    TCP-3074

    Those will work without affecting others internet use.

    Not if you take it off carefully!!!

    Thanks to the RROD I have had to send 3 360's back so far for repair, all of which have had the cases opened.
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    Sounds like first and foremost you need to man up to you r missus and stop being a wimp. Then rewire everything on your line so your kids dont have so much control over you.

    then tell them that if they misbehave you will take the thing off them for prolonged periods of time.

    get a grip man.
