Xbox 360 S - Removing the upper shell panel

I owned collections of everything from Vinyl albums, 8-track, cassette, vcr, cd, dvd, dvd+, and bluray. I particularly don't care for the 3D technology because or the glasses you have to wear. In my opinion the Bluray 2D is the best of the lot. I also have 3 PS3's, 1 XBOX-S all work correctly. The trick to keeping your consoles working is placing a $5.00 walmart fan blowing into the air intakes with ample air space around them not closed up in a cabinet. HEAT build up is the culprit. computer laptop game console repair, 15 years. Try it you will like it.

THINGS I WANT TO SAY:
AS A CONSOLE REPAIR TECH,
1. USE AN EXTERNALLY POWERED FAN TO COOL YOUR PS3/XBOX (NOT A USB POWERED OFF THE SYSTEM, IT JUST MAKES THE INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY RUN HOTTER, GENERATING MORE OF WHATS CAUSING THE PROBLEM). ALLOW A PLACE FOR ALL THAT HOT AIR TO GO.
2. CLEAN THE DUST OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM REGULARLY (3 TO 6 MONTH INTERVALS). HEAT BUILD UP IS THE MAIN CULPRIT WHY THE DELICATE BLURAY/DVD ELECTRONICS FAIL.
3. EVER SINCE MY FIRST FEW REPAIRS, INFORMING MY CUSTOMERS OF THESE FACTS HAVE RESULTED IN ZERO COME BACKS SO FAR.
4.I AM RUNNING 2 OLDER PS3 (G01-K01, 640GIG)REPAIRED SYSTEMS OFF OF EBAY.
5. ALL CONSOLES HAVE A DESIGN COOLING PROBLEM IN MY OPINION.
6. PLAY YOUR BLURAY DISKS ON A DEDICATED BLURAY PLAYER INSTEAD OF YOUR CONSOLES, WHY USE YOUR EXPENSIVE CONSOLE TO DO WHAT A CHEAPER, REPLACABLE DEVICE CAN DO.
7. STILL REBELIOUS? WHEN IT BREAKS, BRING IT TO ONE OF US. I'LL TAKE YOUR MONEY FOR NOT TAKING MY ADVICE!

Great job... Could you tell me what does the HDD look like on the inside. What type of connectors I would need for computer connection? (HD failure/format right after I transferred my old data so...trying to recover it)
