Now, when I ask this, im not just saying should I clean the dust off the top, I mean take it apart completely and clean it properly. I have minimal idea of what im doing, but I believe I would be capable.
Also, are there any tutorials I could use that are extremely useful? (Glossy 360 Slim)

It's really not rocket science. Take an air duster and just make sure nothing gets wet. If anything gets wet dry it immediately and do not try to run/plug it in. It will fry the motherboard.

Just don't break/bend anything inside it and you'll be fine.

If you're truly positive you won't mess up and break your Xbox because that can be easy. One mess up and it's done.

Its quite easy and there are many tutorials. While you are in there if you have a PHAT console you could do a 12V fan upgrade and replace the thermal paste.

Search up a tutorial on youtube. That should give you a good idea of what your doing.

I just did it, as stressful as it was. Can heavily feel the difference though, 3 years of dust inside of it..

I did this with my old Xbox cause it wouldn't play anything and kept overheating and it worked out fine and wasn't too hard. (I did it with a phat console) I don't know if it'll be as easy as the slim though.
