Proabably Question mark foldering: Don't bet on it. There's plenty else that can fit that description.
No power supply. Those are expensive. Unless you can borrow one from someone to at least diagnose it, meh.
You could easily make the $40 asking price and then some back on parts though, and if it does boot, woot, cube!
Please don't mangle it. Get a teardown guide and the right tools, clear a bench and take your time.

If it wasn't for the $138 shipping, I probably would nab it for a spares box.

I am buying an Xbox 360 Elite and an MSI Wind U160 soon (Selling my Acer Aspire one and MSI Wind U100 for this, Acer's on eBay). The Xbox I may get today. So I can't spend much monies!

Why do people buy Xboxes if their failure rate is worse then the iBook G3 600MHz 16MB-900MHz and iMac G5's put together?

The New Jasper mobos do not fail as much I believe, and because they are awesome.
