want to say wiki has an entry about the RROD and repairs. MS sank mad loot into new motherboards with the updated, less likely to RROD features. They do not sell the boards to the public - they have them at the McAllen center. They get an old Xbox, rip out the guts and ship it back. Good luck getting an HDMI unit when you send in your Core or Premium.
MS designed a special mother board called "Opus" It's a Falcon class mother board without HDMI designed to fit into older pre-falcon xbox cases which do not have HDMI ports holes cut into the case.
If your broken 360 has HDMI, you'll get an HDMI 360 back.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
