]I left my first Xbox, with a Thomson drive, on for six hours in pause once when I fell asleep. It was fried when I woke up.[/B]

I think that if your box still works after being on 19 hours, you should be OK. Might not be the greatest thing for the longevity of the system, but short- and medium-term, you should be OK.

Do you know what kind of drive your Xbox has? Did you buy it in the last two years? If so, you have a Samsung or Hitachi drive, and you should be OK.

If it's a launch or first-year Xbox with a Thomson drive, you might have reason to be a bit afraid. But some launch systems, like TCrouch's, work just fine. Ventilation and cleanliness around the unit go a long way, as Terry said.

Good luck!

My roomate in College would play Gran Turismo 4 for hours then leave it on over night while the cpu raced endurance races for him. He would wake up and just keep playing. That thing is still going so I think you will be okay. Just don't make it a regular habit.
