Vertical?? Horizontal?? On its own in a refridgerated room?? Lying on warm carpet?? Seems to be some confusion over how to have it best. I got mine vertical by the side of my tv unit well vented, power pack behind the tv amongst all the other cables, both on carpet???? i may put some plywood under the power pack tomoz tho

Mine is horizontal and will never be placed vertically as I personally do not believe discs spin correctly when placed vertically (dont ask).

The console has plenty of ventilation room and is on a flat hard item.

The "brick" psu is sat atop my pc midi tower and is also well ventilated.

No signs of any heat issues/lockups or other issues (touch wood).

I think I had my bad luck electronically anyways, my 26" Samsung LCD went pop a few days before launch day of 360 so I just felt obliged to "upgrade" it to a 32".
