Unless you are an avid gamer, most modern PCs will last a fair few years. Indeed, you'll probably get bored of your PC long before you need to upgrade. There are various reasons why you shouldn't get rid or move on your old PC. Partly for the security reasons of having to format the hard drive and partly as you can use it for other purposes.

MediaPortal is a free solution for turning your PC in to a fully-fledged media centre, which will enable you to stream, record and playback recorded TV and video. You can store all your favourite movies or videos, catalogue them and then playback via your media centre. View your photos, music, stream radio and more.
