Xbox 360 and Wii Power Supply Ventilation

[Tempest]

I've just moved the location of my Wii and 360 to a nice entertainment system in my game room. However I now have to put the power supplies for these two beasts behind the entertainment center which is right up against the wall. How much room and ventilation do the 360 and Wii power supplies need? Right now they're on short carpet and have a little room to breath, but the room they're in tends to get a little warm.

Also, due to cord length issues, I was forced to put the Wii power supply on top of the 360 power supply, is that going to cause major issues? I generally don't run either system for more than a few hours at a time (three at most).

Why did they have to make the cables so darn short? My 7800 power cable is so long I could have it plugged in three rooms down and still have plenty of cord left.

I only run my Wii for a few hours at a time too...have had it since release, and my power supply is all bottled up behind everything. No issues so far. They don't seen to be worse than anything else. As for the 360 one...I keep mine open air at the top of the entertainment center....not sure if it needs it or not, but with an MS system....why risk it?? lol

If the Wii one doesn't need the ventilation (I don't see any vents on the brick actually) then I can shove it somewhere else and keep the 360 one 100% free. I do worry about the 360 PS, I've heard bad stories about them over heating.

I solved the problem of the stacked PS. I put the Wii PS in a different spot so the 360 PS is now unblocked. It's still stuck behind an entertainment center, but I put it on a spare piece of lexan I had laying around so it's not suck in the carpet now. Hopefully this should be 'good enough'.
