    Mine is still going since fall 2006, built as soon as the core 2duos came out. I have taken it apart once to clean it 3 years ago and gave it a clean install on windows 7. I removed the soundcard, replaced the hard drive and have changed tuners a few times going from NTSC to Astc. I stopped using it to watch my main tv almost 2 years ago.  Bought an Xbox on Black Friday 2011, and since then the htpc stays in the basement while the Xbox is a media center extender.  I added another Xbox last year, both connected by wired Ethernet. I have a 24 inch tv connected to the htpc, but don’t ever watch tv on it unless we are hiding from tornadoes. I use it occasionally as another computer for printing coupons, and it still has my iTunes library so I use it for managing my iPhone. It has shown no signs of wearing out, and I have no plans on changing anything on it or replacing it. A bigger hard drive might be nice, but cat imagine any other changes unless I get a bigger tv and build a home theater in the basement.
