As long as your lights don't go red you should be good to go. Never heard of beeping before. You sure its not just the DVD Drive?

haha i figured it was just the dvd drive my laptops does the same thing i was just making sure it wasnt serious. One more question does anyone use one of those intercoolers?? my friend does and he claims that its basically an essinatal but i dont see why it would be. My 360 is brand new and its never over heated and ive played it for like 6 hours at one time.

Are you going to be playing a lot (like a few hours a day)? It is just something used to keep the temperatures lower inside of the XBOX 360 to minimize "wear and tear." Reviews are mixed on intercoolers and I think overheating is covered under the warranty. Also, the early XBOX 360's were more prone to overheating. Another solution is just to get a PS3, which do not overheat. ;)

Everything I've ever read said those fans don't work.  they interrupt the system's air flow or something.  Just keep it upright, on a hard surface, and not in an enclosed area and it'll be fine.
