I wanted to clarify that I have had several of the IBM Thinkpads, Thinkcentres and ideacentres (from IBM/Lenovo) that have lasted more than ten years with gentle usage (no overclocking and liberal usage of cooling fans and stuff). But that's just me (and one particular brand). I have gotten the same longevity from many different brands as well. Generally longer usage when I build the thing myself.
