Ok, my roommates and I bought a complete but broken (three red lights) 360 premium system with hd cables, controllers, headset, hdd, everything. Got it for 250 bucks. We figured it was the gpu ball sauter problem. We planned on taking a heat gun to it to remelt the sauter, as has been done many times. However, just for fun we wrapped the 360 in towels and sweaters and let it run for about 20 minutes. After turning it off and letting it cool for a while. We pushed the power button and it works perfectly. I never in my wildest dreams figured it would actually work, but it did. A completely working xbox 360 premium for 250 bucks.
Now we have to tear it apart to get some better cooling. I am cutting a 120mm fan hole for a yate loon in the top and we are moving the dvd drive outside the case. I'm also removing pretty much every obstruction to airflow. Maybe a little paint as well. After mod pics will come soon.
