I have repaired my first gen xbox360 for like 3 fucking times over the past 2 years, it still fail on me and I gave up, I should have spent the total of $150 on a new xbox360. Not worth the money and time.
few things that you have to consider.
1) no one can fix RROD permanently, unless you get some hardcore guy that will reball all the contact points under your cpu / gpu. That will cost you much more than buying a new 250gb xbox360;
2) for $60, they probably change the x-clamp, put on some new thermal grease, and do some silly mod to the fan, you can do it by yourself in 3 hrs after reading some youtube guides;
3) some cheap ass will just do the toothpick trick, towel trick, and run away with your $60 and you still get RROD after a week or so;
4) if you salvage your old xbox360, you can reuse all the accessories (HD, controller, remote, headset) and sell the parts to some kids (power adapters, casing, DVD).
