A 60GB launch unit is in demand for backwards compatibility and they look better (raised lettering, chromed parts, card reader, etc.). Do try to fix it, they are worth more (despite being hotter and louder).
YLOD 60GB launch units are pretty easily fixed if nothing is majorly wrong.
I bought a dead one off Kijiji that came with a controller for $60. FlameOn reflowed it for me after we had a big reball failure (oven too hot). We then tried buying 6 more with our luck progressively worse though lol.
