From what I know Sony had already replaced the older models with newer hardware. Not sure though, so you might as well get at least the 80gb models.
Oh, and don't play too much with your PS3's HD display (720p/1080p) enabled, you might cook the whole system and screw the internal parts out. One reliable console repairman told me about owners getting YLODs too often due to the long duration they put their HD displays enabled on their PS3s without somehow making the unit out from stress. I've also seen him work a whole stack of 360s and PS3s with the same problem.
Even a car coolant didn't work against the PS3's hardware issue, one of his customers claimed.
