My HDD had a spasm last night. Seriously was a complete PITA to have to back up 1500GB of data whilst I wait for a new one to arrive. A non gaming PC tends to be simple, cheap, low power useage, easy to replace and manage. Gaming just complicates your PC and most people don't want the hassle for a fully fledged 'gaming rig'.

I'm increasingly under the notion that it's better to keep your workstation and gaming rigs separate. And yes, this effectively doubles the price of your PC use, but I still see it as being better to keep your productivity and entertainment boxes separate.

With a workstation/productivity system, you just want it to work smoothly and reliably; period. All the little tricks and mods done to gaming rigs to make them squeeze out that much more performance almost always result in reduced reliability and serviceability. Things will break faster on overclocked and modified components, but that's hardly a concern when parts are regularly being upgraded anyway.

So, it pretty much boils down to cost, as with many things.

And if all you need is a terminal for e-mail, word processing and the like; even simpler. Stick with consoles for games.

Thats pretty much how I feel.
