My last PC was built 7 years ago for 700. Added a $120 video card half way 2 years in and it's lasted me until up about a month ago when the video card melted.
It would proably still be running, but instead I bought a new i7 rig that cost $1700 and should last just as long, and still be quick. 7 years of constant abuse, porn, over clocking, viruses, Diablo 2, CS etc. I should probably just find an old agp card and keep it running.
Consoles on the other hand.. I have a PS2 slim, and it's covered in dust in my closet. Other than the random times I play Gt4, it's useless and because of that I refuse to buy a new console.
Consoles are for Gran Turismo, RPGs and hack& slash games.. FPS games on a console is retarded. I blame Halo.
PCs are just way more versatile and I can upgrade it to make it go faster. Ever play DOTA/ HON/WOW? Can't do that with a console.
