Does yours have a problem? It should be ventilated fine...enough. About the cases, the 360 does get pretty hot you might want to try something like that but not made from plastic. Although I don't it would totally melt them

Try to keep the power brick at near full cable length from the 360 itself and make sure the back, sides and top of the 360 are clear of anything that would blow-back ventilated heat. Keep it out of enclosed back compartments. Lifting it off of a surface wouldn't really help much if it was a cold surface. Maybe use some small 1 x 1 x 1 wood squares to lift it slightly at all four corners but it wouldn't help majorly. Keeping it clear is the best method.

Hmmm you can't really do much except maybe put a fan near it or something. The 360 pumps out a lot of heat, no matter what u do but you can try to kool it down by having a fan by it or maybe trying to keep the room cooler to try and balance off the heat.

You could do what I did, and buy an inter-cooler made for the 360, Which you can probably buy at a wal-mart or ebgame's or game stop, for 20 $$. And they're are two types: the vertical fan stand, And the inter-cooer, which you plug in to the back.

Kk this is wat i would tell a 360 owner to do. One thing you should do is put the HUGE power block ontop of something so it can have gud are flow. *TIP:you should use a shoebox and keep the powerblock ontop of it*
Second keep the powerblock cable straigh and now all cruel so the power can flow very well. Third You should leave the 360 in a highest place *not on the ground*. You can Keep in on its side but you should put something under it so it can have more air flow. Or you can have it standing up makeing alittle more air flow.

Ok this is wat yu can do. This is not need to keep the 360 workn and hot but it will make everything alot better. It wont affect the system tomuch but it will keep it from haveing less over heat %

Hope My tips Help You plz message bak if yu need help

I don't suggest putting the 360 on its side. Even if it does give more ventilation it can cause the discs to wobble and scratch easily.

Also You know the Fans that can be bougth for the 360 if yu are planning in getting one yu should make sure yu attact the cooler tight so it wont F**k up your 360.

My self use a Regular mini fan. I Take my Fan and put it rite next or behide the 360 to cool it down.

If you are planning to use some money you can buy some Fans or LiquidAirCooler for a PC you can install it into your 360 or get some1 to help you

Hope my Tips help you

Its not a major help dude its just give you alot more air flow and it will control the air in the 360 alot more.

*Remember Hot air Stays low Cold Air Rises*
So depended on the Postion of where you set your 360

thats just me. So if you dont think it works dont need to do it
