You tried Amazon.com?
Oh and make sure to check the sku so you get the newer one with the smaller circuitry, it keeps the 360 cooler , and stop the RRoD

Yeah, I've tried Amazon but you can't buy direct from them, they redirect you to a big-name store (Best Buy among others) that only sell the "Bundle of Such and Such", which I don't want/need. Could you explain your advice for somone who has never had a 360 also (sorry, don't follow techinical talk too much).

Here you go mate this article will explain everything:
http://www.joystiq.com/2007/11/22/joystiq-holidaze-explaining-the-xbox-360-skus/
But to grab the except i was talking about:
ephyr, Falcon, Jasper ... Can you explain all these different chipsets?
Zephyr is the name giving to the first upgrade of the Xbox 360's motherboard, which started showing up in retail consoles July 2007, and sported an HDMI 1.2 port and an improved heatsink.
The Falcon chipset will sport a smaller, 65nm CPU -- theoretically, this means cooler temperatures and less energy usage. These chips are expected to find their way into consoles by the end of this year. The rumored Jasper chipset isn't expected until August 2008 and will reportedly feature a smaller, 65nm GPU.
Except for checking for an HDMI port (included in all Zephyr and later chipsets), there is no easy way to tell which chipset you have.
From Kahles:
To add the best chance of getting the New chipset is going to a busy Gamestop because they get their systems directly from Microsoft and only care a small number at a time which increase the chance that you will get a newer one. When it doubt ask what date they got their last 360 shipment and grab one of those sku's
