If air is flowing out of your 360 and it's not sizzling hot, you should be ok.

Just because it's in an air cond room doesn't mean it's cold, unless your air cond is blowing right at it lar.

Intercooler with pass through power connector is messing with the main voltage going into the 360 either electric noise or drawing current away from the 360.

Let's take a test...

How many gamer tags are there in the registry topic?
How many people have had their console killed by the 3 red lights?

From there you can see that there really aren't that many horror stories, Just keep your power supply and unit properly ventilated. I don't have an AC room to play in, the 360 just sits in a normal AV cabinet (doors opened of course) and I could still play DR and survive for 5 days.. no problems!
