Depending on your definition of elite, two systems I have that qualify are:
* Amiga 500 (68k) with 512Kb of memory
or
* AMD 64 3000 with 1Gb mem, 160Gb SATA, 2 NICs, 64bit Gentoo linux in a Shuttle (mini ITX) case that is a firewall/router/webserver/mailserver
I've also got another AMD 64 3000 system, but I'm waiting to get the motherboard back from GigaByte (hardware problems ... thank the gods for warranties).
Then there is the wife's Athlon 2700 (win2k), the Gateway Solo 9150 P2-400MHz notebook (formerly win98se, now running Gentoo linux), the Compaq Armada P2-366 a friend found in a dumpster (complete with extra battery, cables, and leather carry bag) that actually works with XP (but really slowly), my dual P-166MHz Tyan board (still works, built it in Oct '96) and of course the Amiga 1200 with 128Mb hard drive.
Of course, i typically only run three systems at once: the shuttle (its the router/firewall), my system (once I get it rebuilt) and my wifes Athlong 2700 system.

I feel my new PC is fairly l33t, but perhaps not for the most obvious reasons. It's only a modest 3000+, 1GB, 200GB SATA, but ...
a) it's built into an MDF box 1ft cube built round a uATX board, because I wanted a case that would fit on my 12" deep shelves (nothing out there that short commerically, not Shuttle, not QMAX, not anything else) . All the sides hinge out 'cos I *hate* dislocating my wrist to work inside
b) it has serial, parallel and 5v connectors on the front as well as USB and audio, as it's my workshop PC, to hook up to all my experiments
c) it's kept clean, the kids haven't put every game download known to man on it, so it's ready to cook in about 20 seconds
d) as it's my workshop PC, I cut a piece of Perspex(tm) to make a cover for the TFT, and two days later while carelessly handling a sharp-cornered metal box, I put a huge gouge into it (the cover, not the TFT). I went "Yessssss!", for once I had foreseen an accident, and did something about it beforehand, rather than regretted it afterwards.
