5 years? I *just* 'upgraded' from a pentium 3 600mhz coppermine slot1 tower to a 2.8pentium 4
And I only did that because I had enough spare parts from junk machines people gave me to built it without buying any hardware
I'd still be happily using my pentium 3 if I hadn't gotten that one last dead computer...
Now my grandmother is using that tower and loves it.

My lifetime for PC's are 5 years. I refuse to update constantly just because of sloppy "commercial quality" coders.
- that said, a real Hi-Fi system is a DYI-project
The problem is that companies are "forced" to maximise profit constantly, leading to fast development of application solutions rather than to development of fast application solutions. (See the small, yet huge difference?)
Hi-Fi systems are different, since people tend to know better, somehow. Probably the lack of blinking GUI things
EDIT: Fixed typo in third paragraph
