Placement of my 360

Is that ok? :). The powerbrick has it's own small shelf and my 360 is on top with nothing blocking air holes and around 3 - 5 inches at the back. Oh, it has been on all day, air coming out of it is cold but the back is warm and warm air. Doesn't seem like overheating issues could occur?

Ya I have my xbox the same way and it seems ok. I was thinking of raising my xbox a bit tho by putting two small blocks of wood or a few DVD cases under so the holes on the bottom of the case can breath(Yes I'm paranoid)

IME, the console runs much cooler when it is vertical than when it's horizontal.

Yeah, but it's not as good when it's vertical. The games seem to play better in horizontal.

I took a while to decide the best way to place it, I went on the fact that the bottom when its vert has much more vent holes covered up than when its horz. The only thing I can think of to keep it cool in every hole is to raise the bottom of it a bit with some small blocks of wood.

Also I can't stand putting discs in when its vert

How so?

Mine is noticeably cooler to the touch and the fans are quieter when the console is vertical. Same location, same enviromentals, so, it must be more efficient cooling when vertical. Which I guess makes sense as vertical positioning puts some of the exit ventilation holes on the top of the console, giving it convection cooling.
