Oh I know, Im the same way. Have you seen the inside of the 360? They way they arranged the heat sinks is fing ridiculous. And off topic, yes that is the goddess Megan fox

No, I have not seen the inside of the 360, aside from Youtube, etc. I like ripping things apart but electronics is something I try to avoid. lol.

Having the 360 vertical will also help to expel more heat because there are more vents exposed.

Having the 360 vertical means less air going in and less heat coming out because of the huge breathing vent on the bottom is completely blocked off.

I don't know what you meant by 'less air going in'. The internal fans draw cooler air in to help keep the motherboard, GPU and CPU cool. The vents are there to expel the heat that's generated.

The 'breathing vent on the bottom' actually takes up less surface area so heat is dissipated more effectively in the vertical position but in the horizontal position the 'breathing vent on the bottom' is exposed and technically this makes both positions dissipate heat almost as effectively as each other.

Sorry for the misleading post.
