    The more ventilated the area the better, if it's in a cramped TV stand with no air getting near the vents on the 360 itself the higher the chance of it over heating.

    I have had mine sitting verticaly on my floor since I bought it and have had no problems with over heating.

    It's probably best to leave the door open when you're playing it.

    I have mine in a little unit thingy, and just pull it out (the xbox, that is!) when I'm using it. I used to just leave the door open, but that lead to a three ring crash, so I just keep it well out of the unit to let it get as much air as possible.

    I have mine in a tv unit also. The heat build up inside it is unreal if I leave the doors closed.

    Yes you are. I had two 360s broke over this, you could have the back fans facing outwards with the glass doors open.
