Hello all,
I would like to know if it is possible to run a 360 w/o the case attached. I just finished an x-clamp fix, and plugged everything in, only to get the 3 ring RROD. I don't want to close everything up unless I have to because I would like to adjust the new screws I put in for the heatsinks. The case is a pain in the a** to take apart for me. Everything else (DVD,HDD,front panel, etc.) is connected

There's no reason why you can not run the xbox without the case. It won't hurt anything, I do it all the time before I close everything back up.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately for me I guess this means my fix was unsuccessful.

What is the secondary error code you are getting with the RROD?
"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

Thank you for your inquiry. The error code "was" 0102. I say was because I eventually fixed it. After tightening the new heatsink screws and backing them up 1/2 a turn as stated in the instructions, the error code was still there. Before giving up completely I tightened them all the way on a whim, and it worked.

Yes. it is possable...I saw a youtube video that featured a guy running a burnt game with the case not being attached but it does open the components to dust and debris.
