The 360 has 2 main issues
1) poor ventilation
2) sloppy soldering job

over time, heating and cooling cycles warps the mother board, causing hairline cracks in the solder, thus render the system useless. I think super heating the system with the towels resets the solder, but only just enough to make it work for a short time.

keeping the system cool will probably delay the RROD (no promises though) so keep it in an open area away from walls, carpets and closed spaces. A fan blowing into the bottom might help because i think the bottom is the primary intake vent (hence, a sideways setup might be better then a vertical one).

Im not going to pretend im an xbox expert, cause im not, but ive done some poking around on the interwebs to keep mine from dieing and this is what ive found.

thanks for tolerating this long post :)

I personally keep mine horizontal. The main thing to keep in mind is housing it in an area with lots of airflow around the console itself and also the power brick.
