It may not be easy on the eye, and certainly won’t win any awards for style, but piping a wall-mounted air conditioner directly into the console is about as brutal a cooling solution as you’re going to find.
The new Xbox 360 S models are reportedly a lot more reliable than the older Elite pictured here, which is great news for consumers, but bad news for lovers of DIY Apollo 13 gaming mods.

Also it will scratch less disks that way.
I lay mine horizontally. Never had a problem with either heat or scratches.
Keep them vents clear!

Or bought one of those case fans for the back of it.
