If you know a thing or two about airflow inside a PC case, you want warm air to be directed out and cool air pulled in.

Vents everywhere like that looks amateurish.

so you're saying my $1300 avr is "amateurish" because it has vents all over it? it's the top of the line denon receiver.

It has vents at the top, not all over. The vents direct the heat upwards off the heatsinks...like it's supposed to. Honeycombing the box doesn't cool better at all.

The top of the line Denon AVR is like $3000+...

And it has enclosed ducted fans for the MOSFETs.

no it's not, its $2500 and its the 4520ci.

mine is the 4311ci that was $2500 retail but i got it a few months before the 4520ci came out for $1300.

not sure what the inside of the avr has to do with the "amateurish" vents on the sides of it.

That's the top of the casing. The heatsinks are directing the heat to those vents.

Thus venting the back would ruin the airflow.

Unless you have fans pushing air toward or in from each of those vents it's not helping anything. by putting them on every side as in the xbone but I need to see a breakdown of the internals. Maybe there's a bunch of fans.

but vents on the side and top of the x1 look amateurish?

we have no clue if the rear is a "vent" on the x1. it could simply be an exhaust for a fan or be totally asthetic.

the fanboys are out in droves tonight.

Their more powerful systems used the MOSFETs bolted up to the sides of a giant square tubular aluminum channel with an intake fan ducted from the bottom and an exhaust fan on the back on the other end using the interior of the heatsink like a wind tunnel to cool it. High end AVRs aren't convection cooled, they would catch fire.
 
It already came in Microsoft.

Sorry, not even a fanboy of any brand here, this is just a much needed win for gaming in general.
