The XBOX is a console and therefore probably not designed to be on 24/7.

I do believe that it's up to the task though. I have my xbox on 20/7 and have had no problems so far.

in my opinion yes... and if it isn't you have insurance and a waranty! they aren't going to be able to see a modchip caused this in a big pile of mess!

It doesnt make any commercial sense for M$ to make it super reliable.
My guess would be M$ have tested it on 24/7 operations and have just got it past a 12month life expectancy. i.e.: warranty. So your xbox will be blowing out its own candle on its first birthday: D

Think about it ?

My question is this: Why would ANYBODY want/need to leave it on 24/7?

? It's not like your
downloading stuff with it. My PC is up 24/7 because I am grabbing stuff all the time. Hence, there
is a REASON for it. What's your reason?

for cracking the encryption used to sign XBEs - once cracked an unmodded xbox will be able to run homebrew apps etc

My Xbox has been off for a total of about two hours in the last three months. And that was just yesterday, when I tried to flash my matrix using the new evox, and it froze halfway through. So I had to power off and program it on my PC. There's really no problem to leaving it on, since you'll have sold your xbox at a garage sale long before they start to fail. I myself have never had a heat related problem with my xbox, and its crammed inside my entertainment center with very little room for airflow.

why not set XBMP, to shutoff say after 60 minutes of inactivity?

Also the new Evo dash does the same i believe....
