I'm still using the rig I built in 2006, though I have maxed out the ram (32gb) and upgraded to SSDs since then. It works fine for what I use it for--writing code, listening to music, surfing the web, image editing in gimp, and drawing with qcad or inkscape. I often do these things simultaneously with up to 100 open browser tabs. I have no reason to believe I won't still be using it 5 years from now.
