My method will break its warranty, unless its out of warranty do what I say.
Do exactly what you are doing, except open up the top of the case and it will literally be 100x more effective. I know my friend who cools down his computers by leave the side panel of their case open and putting a fan there.
One of my roommates does this too (fan on his computer) cause he has a shitty case, dual video cards, and a overclocked quad core, he has to.
As for the Xbox, don't void the warranty, from what I understand, every xbox360 since the 1st ones are, are still replaceable for free, microsoft is doing this, because they know as soon as they stop replacing them for free they will get their asses sued off, since they have a 100% chance of failure even if used properly.
What you are doing with the fans on your fist pic, will work just as well as those other solutions. The important thing is to keep cool air flowing over it (aim at the intake), and not to leave it on overnight or anything, turn it off when you are finished (if there is an idle-auto off option, turn it on). Then about twice a year or so, clean it out with compressed air, aim for the intake and exhaust ports and blow all the dust out.
