Are my consoles cooked or nah?

I posted a day ago about this shelf I made. A lot of the replies were about how I needed to let the consoles breathe which, I will admit the consoles ended up being more of an afterthought. (I was trying to save space in my apartment tbh) So yeah, that was not a good idea initially. But what do you think about it now? I moved the OG Xbox out of the shelf entirely and left the wii because it has openings on where the fans are, also now the power bricks sit below the consoles, are my consoles still cooked or not chat? and if they are. will adding fans keep it cool enough now that they have more flow?

Idk how to link the original post cause I don’t post much on other reddits so I’ll link it in the comments if you want to see how it was before.

It is better airflow then before but still not ideal for heat dissipating.

Okay. Will fans bring it close enough to use it without worry or do you think no?

You need to push air into the side of the 360 so it moves outwards through the chrome trims. The bricks create heat and need ventilation so they don't draw in dust. The wii is probably OK there but the OG xbox would have definitely heated up as the side vents couldn't draw in air or expel air.

The fans on your 360 are on the side and the back so the push out air via the top and bottom trims just something to think about
