My PC room is to far from the living room for me to connect the PC to my projector. I do have a small lenovo ideacentre minidesktop in my living room though. Its basically a remote reciever for XBMC (kodi) from the PC in my PC room and for light browsing on the projector screen.
Haha at the steam sales, if there is one thing I like about PC gaming its that.

I got around that... By "streaming" my PC over my network.
Think of remote play, but in every single room of your home at the same time, when my sister brings her kids over, they go balastic and they access my Steam full Library from $100 "Dumb Clients". (Better than letting them use my thousands of dollars worth of hardware.)

You certainly can be both depending on what post I read. Condescending has nothing to do with that though, stop acting like you're better than everyone.
Quite frankly, the "Pick one, make a game of it" just shows me that you have the wrong attitude for discussion.

If all you're going to do is nitpick and hate on someone whilst not adding anything new or constructive to the topic at hand, then don't bother posting.
What I stated was in jest, lighten up, recognise a joke when you see one.

That particular problem was a long time ago, I was playing FS 2004 and Everquest at the time. NVidia flavor. Geforce FX series I think.

It's a good thing nVidia never released a GPU with a "TnL chip" to get burnt out then.

6 years if you heavily investing on higher price spec, and it's actually quite risk, most of hardware is easy to become faulty, and later on become hard to upgrade some several part especially cpu (some new cpu require you to upgrade mother board and the result you have to build from basic again and defeat the purpose of cost saving money on upgrading.

If you go LGA 2011, you are then playing with server-class hardware in some cases, which has more reliability testing than consoles.
Heck, My bus terminal is still using a 386/486 PC running DOS (That's right, no Microsoft Windows), that thing would have to be 20+ years old.
I have another PC in my home which is 6 years old with a Core 2 Quad, 8Gb of Ram and a $30 Radeon 6570, you would be surprised how it runs games and it's never skipped a beat.
I also have zero need to upgrade the CPU, even though it's freaking ancient, at 3.6ghz it still handles everything fine.
The warranty on my main PC is also longer than a console generation, my motherboard is at 10 years, my CPU has a "single failure" warranty after 3 years, thus if I blow my CPU up after the warranty is expired, I get a new CPU (Here we are at 3 years!), my PSU has a 7 year warranty, my Ram has a lifetime warranty, my SSD's have a 5 year warranty... The list goes on.
The point is, if you pick and choose the right hardware, it can exceed a console in terms of reliability, MTBF and warranty.
Let's not forget PC's just plain look cooler than the boring black console boxes.
