Putting the PC cost argument to rest

You can reuse half the stuff in your next PC build anyway so the cost is variable.Keyboard, mouse, sound card, speakers, monitor, DVD drive, possibly even hard drives and the case (Probably not the PSU component)  are all usable in your next machine.

Yup. A lot of my parts (fans, case, network card, HDD and SSD) are going to be reused in my next build, whenever that may be. You can use the same CPU/MB for 5-7 years easy, and replace the GPU every 4 years.
