Keeping my 360 ventilated, tips??

I know this sounds like a complete newbtastic question, but I have a couple questions about space and keeping my 360 ventilated.

There is about 4 inches on each side of my power brick. (it sits in between my tv and stereo system. Do I need much more space for it to keep cooler?

I have a 200 capacity cd sleeve holder that has all my games ontop of my 360. Should I take this off?

I havent really gotten a definitive answer about this, but will helping my 360 get more space actually reduce the chance of getting the RROD?

Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated.

There's a risk of RRoD no matter what. The best advice for ventaliting is keeping the 360 in an open space, like on top of a dresser, book case, etc, and making sure none of the vents are covered. Most importanly don't turn it on it's side, because doing that covers one of the larger vents.

Yes, take the CD sleeve off of your 360!
