These videos from Digital Foundry have been absolutely stellar! I also gotta commend MS for all those in-depth presentations and on-hands experiences they offered to DF and others. There's so much good b-roll footage used in these videos that give you good visual to follow and keep you engaged. Things like the small airflow animations are much appreciated.
And yeh, that's one damn great design. I do wonder about dust issues, too, but ultimately, there's only so much you can do without further impeding the airflow. I suppose some mechanism that would close the top off when the box is off, would be neat. But not sure how feasible that would be and it's always another point of failure. As long as one can easily blow the majority of dust out every so often, it should be fine.
