You could always take the HDD off? If you get a new Xbox you can buy a transfer kit to transfer your old data to the new one (obviously they didn't make the HDD's cross compatible with the new ones so they can squeeze the extra money out of their loyal customers, but at the end of the day they have to make a profit I suppose).

Anyway, I realised your post said last six months, not take six months. Ours has lasted three years since it was repaired, although in an unrelated matter the transformer makes a horrible rattling noise all the time. Maybe it might be time to invest in a new one? Or not, since the next gen will probably be out in a few years meaning either you can get one of those or buy the 360 on the cheap when the price plummits.
