Well, the GPU and CPU are probably fixed, but didn't insulate it enough (read, duck tape let me down at the edges and allowed air to get under my insolation) so it's busted a few capacitors. But, all is far from lost. This xbox did not come with any power cords, which are stupendously expensive (new, 90 bucks). While hunting down another cheapy, found another 40 dollar one that never RROD, but the disk drive died. Well, my disk drive is fine. And, the newest one has all the cords needed as well. Thus, 40 dollars for a power brick and video cable alone are worth it, the fact that a working 360 mobo comes with it, is icing on a cake. And, for you guys worried about the warranty, it'd have a good serial number to use.

Plus, I can shoot some color on the extra shell and sell it off to recoup a bit of cash, but other than that, 85 bucks would be invested, and I have a complete 360 with a 20 gig HDD, minus a controller... Which is next on the to-do list.
