Space saver or serious design flaw? Setting your xbox 360 up vertically seems like a great way to conserve space, though in actuality, it blocks the systems main source of ventilation, Which can cause the system to overheat, A.K.A RROD. A better way to set it up is on its side or, better yet, upside down vertically for maximum cooling, though this my look strange to some. Personally, I would lay it horazonal the way it's really design to be, and keep the system at a steady cooling level.
