Wrong. My Elite got the RRoD. But it doesn't matter since it still works anyway.

Uh what
RROD is a hardware error usually caused by weak soldering (or weakened soldering caused by overheating or something), how does a "faulty disc" contribute to that?

I have one,just put it on a wood desk NOT ON IT'S SIDE and it won't overheat for months.

Or, just store it in a cool area, like your basement. Mine has always been on its side and the only time we ever had problems was in the summer when my parents opened every window and turned on the A/C on a day where it was like a hundred degrees out.

Mine has always ran like really cool. I could cool my hands with it if I wanted to. As long as you don't store in some closed cupboard or on cloth or such, you will be fine.
