I just got a 360 yesterday and I dont want it to brake or nothing, I know the chances arent that big but what im doing now is I have a fan about 60 cm's away from the 360 sort of blowing onto the back and side to keep it cool.

Is that a good idea or is having air blowing in not very clever.

If not then where should I position the fan etc?

You can cut a hole on the top of the xbox360 to vent air through there.

A fan is fine, but you dont want it blowing directly on it or twords the rear of the console as it will just keep the hot air in. Really you dont need to, if you want have it blowing from the side at a distance.
