Don't forget the chimney effect: putting a decent sized cardboard or
plastic tube iver a matching hole on top of a case with adequate air
inlets round its base will make a passive cooling system.

I like the idea of putting the Pi on its side too. Mine (Pi 2B 512MB)
lives on its side attached to an epoxyboard support in a hexagonal
plastic box that used to contain Mirabelle Mozertkugeln. No ventilation
holes but it runs just fine in there. A no-cost case too: I already had
the epoxyboard.
