It might be because there's no airflow getting to the system. How long is the unit on at a time? The unit might be heating the air around it and since there's no airflow to push the air around it.

Can you put the xbox on top of the shelf so there's open air all the way around it instead of being contained? I haven't had any issues with any 360 unit but I don't keep it in a cabinet.

The black box has been remodeled to avoid problems like that from what I understand, but I would take your next unit and give it open air, or a cabinet like you have with a small fan to push the hot air out so it doesn't accumulate above the unit.
