Agreed. I don't understand how people in this thread are saying that the fact that you "need" to constantly upgrade a PC is a negative.
You don't "need" to constantly upgrade a PC. I upgrade about every 3 years, and thats just because I like to keep all my graphics settings on the highest settings possible. Even then, you can usually get away with just upgrading your video card. I think I add RAM and upgrade processor about every other version of windows that comes out - as MS likes to hog all my system resources running windows in the background.
I think the upgradability of a PC is a positive. You are never stuck with an obsolete system... theres always room to improve it. And those improvements are only expensive if you insist on the latest and greatest machine that will give you 120 FPS in the newest games (which is unnecissary imo).
