I would be concerned that, if nothing else, the expansion/contraction
associated with the temperatures in the Xbox (let alone an AV rack) would
be
enough to effect the integrity of the connections. Add to that the
vibration
>from
problem :-)
I guess my biggest concern would be that I would be taking the box apart
(not
particularly easy) every five minutes to re-seat the chip. Still, nothing
ventured....
