    Correct angle of a dvd drive?

    Particuarly the one in my 360.

    I have for my laptop a stand that sits it up at a certain height to be used as a screen, using an external keyboard etc.. but i don't use it.

    I then had the wonderful idea to put it under my 360, to raise it up, and allow more of an airflow around it. However, it tilts it down slightly at the front, meaning the whole thing is at an angle, and i wondered if this has any effect on the spinning of disks?

    Don't want to put it at any more risk than it is already of RROD.

    No risks of a RROD (as in chip failure), but more chances to get scratched disks. However, the X360 can be positioned both horizontally and vertically, so I'd say that the CD is kept by the spinning motor few millimeters away from the tray...high rotation speed could make the disk "waggle" a bit, but I doubt it could harm the console or the disk.
