The elite still has the same rrod problems. All MS did was put some epoxy/glue stuff on the gpu to try and fix the problem, but apparently it wasn't enough.
You could try getting an Xbox 360 with a Falcon motherboard, but it would have to be a 360 with a very recent release date to be one of those - and even still, their reliability hasn't been proven yet. (they are still too new) Go here for a list of things to check for to be fairly sure that the console you are looking at is the falcon revision.
Once MS finally fixes their shoddy design problems I'd probably get a 360 very soon - but I will abstain from buying one until that happens.
