Don't do anything like that at all. It'll make your 360 more prone to overheat in the long run. It does cool it down, but it also blows extra dust into your console which can/will block the vents, making your 360 prone to overheat
Just get a shop vac and use it once every other week
Hey, I got my elite last year, working fine and everything, but I've heard that people are blowing their housefans on the BACK of the 360. I've been making mine blow on the RIGHT SIDE of it(Where the holes are on the right side) Anyway, is my idea better? It's supposed to help blow air out of the 360. Is that a better idea? It supposedly is going to help cool down the system since it's helping blow air out. Like, I have a housefan blowing at full speed,(It's kinda loud =P) directly at the holes on the right side.

NEVER put a fan on the back of the x360, it will overheat and Rrod, the back fans vent the air towards the back of the console

Mate you've got to be kidding. The fan on the back sucks air out, not pushes it in. It creates greater air flow, I've had one on mine for nearly 3 years and it's working like a treat, no rrod etc.
I never said the contrary , have you looked at the photo??? , ARROWS, When I said (NEVER put a fan on the back of the x360, it will overheat and Rrod, the back fans vent the air towards the back of the console) I meant never put a fan in the back venting air toward the back.
my bad, when I read this (but I've heard that people are blowing their housefans on the BACK of the 360) from bikabenownz, I thought that he heard someone was putting a fan blowing air towards the inside from the back of the xbox360 which would be bad, so my answers were to that, sorry, in that case, yes you can put a fan on the back to help suck the hot air out, sorry for the confusion, I made a fool of myself there.:oops:
well, if you want to see if putting a fan to the back would help, see this
