How to find the numbers
Video mode
If you live in Europe you usually have a PAL system, North-American it's usually NTSC, Japan is NTSC, rest of Asia is usually PAL. Take a look at this Wikipedia image to get a better understanding of your video mode.
Manufacturer date
You find this date on the backside of the Xbox 360 unit, it's right between the video and power cables.

DVD Drive
There are currently two different DVD-ROM drives available for the Xbox 360; the first is a Hitachi-LG drive and the other is a Toshiba-Samsung drive. It's the latter one that is currently the most sought after drive.
In 2007, a new BenQ drive was also introduced in the Elite and later Premium and Arcade packages.
You can open the tray and look where the holes are to determine the DVD drive you own.

Firmware
Every drive has a firmware printed on top of the drive, this requires you to open the console and look at the topside of the DVD-ROM drive.

HDMI
The new Xbox 360 machines manufactured after July 2007 will most likely include the new HDMI connector. The pack will be marked to say it includes HDMI and on the site it will say codename Zephyr.

Fan model
The fan model can indicate how much fan noise the machine will generate when the temperature raises and fans begin to rev-up.
The easiest way to find the fan model is to look through the ventilation holes on the back of the machine, or if possible, open the machine up and remove the fan from the case. The delta and Sunon fans are known to generate noise, while the Nidec fans are somewhat quieter.
Delta - Black and white/silver label
Sunons - Green and white label
Nidec - All back label

Motherboard model
Microsoft regularly makes new revisions of the motherboard to fix faults, make it more efficient, and lower the manufacture costs. There are, as of August 2008, four revisions, each has its own codename. Look at the pictures below to determine your board revision. See the full details here.
The power connector on the back of the console can reveal which motherboard you have by comparing the details shown in the picture below.
