Around 8 months ago a few of the capacitors on my motherboard finally failed. I got probably 4-5 years out of that system. But, I went and rebuilt my PC. Upgraded the power supply, got a new motherboard, a high energy efficient dual-core cpu and 4 gigs of RAM. I went with 4 gigs because I had started using VMs on my computer and the 4 gigs helps keep things running smoothly with the VMs and my host OS.
I'll be putting a new web server online soon as well, with 12 gigs of RAM.
