I got the red ring of death last night. My X-Box 360 is already on its way to Redmond.

How old was it?

Upside they have excellent customer service and they just sent me out a brand new one the same day they got my old one.Mine was a fan issue not RRoD. There are two new motherboards. One for brand new systems and one for repaired system. So depending on how severe your RRoD was you might get a whole new 360.

Believe it or not, I got it within three months of launch. So I've been lucky. I've got a cousin who has gone through four systems.

I marked the one I sent in, so I'll know if I get a new one back or not.
I'm hoping that the article I linked here a month or so ago about them finally fixing this issue is true. Hopefully, the fix they apply means I won't encounter this again.

I don't know how you marked it, but they have a history of < cleaning them. >< (Here's how that one ended up, btw) >

They'll probably find my marks too, one was inside and one was outside.By the way, Bill Gates' signature is like a 9 year old's.
