best way to get max cooling in an X-Box?
I'm looking to cool an X-Box I just bought down since it'll have a 200GB HDD very soon which I'd guess will cause it to run warmer than the stock setup. what exactly are my options?

I know they make fan units for those that have the 360 vertical. Could one of those laptop coolers (that plug into the usb) be used for a horizontal 360? Would it have any effect?

I don't think they are using a 360, or at least I haven't heard of 250 GB 360 drives.
The best method of cooling would be liquid helium under a vacuum. But I don't think that is completly practicle, so I would just keep as much open area around the unit to allow good air-flow.
