My 3rd XBOX 360 is dead
More info on Practical Gadgetry (since a squeaky wheel on TechRepublic is much louder than one here).
Here is a video of the console after I took off the hard drive (which XBOX customer support suggested as a potential fix).
Kind of reminds me of Christmas. Not because of the red flashing lights, but because my first XBOX 360 failed just before Christmas in 2005 (the second in October of 2006).

Good thing they extended the warranties. I wonder where Microsoft went so wrong in building these? I've had one go out so far, but I'm not optimistic about the replacement one they sent me. At least for now I have my Wii, it will be interesting to see if any long term problems develop with Nintendo's technology.
