Well said.
Althought the Original Xbox's are solid. I've had mine running for days, in all kinds of positions. Still runs solid.

But, leave some room on the sides and don't get it dusty. It's not that hard. They could have made it bigger like the original and had it run cooler, but then it would have been bigger. And these days, Smaller is Better (See: Gameboy Micro).

The new 360's and the Elite have better cooling though.
