Y'all should get SSDs. They're so snappy and responsive, and very easy to live with with no moving parts and low power consumption. They're supposed to last for decades.
Downsides: they're expensive and small. Totally worth it for me.
@bgd: I choose components for low noise, heat, and power consumption. I have an 80W PSU in my 2.0GHz Sempron rig. I really can't picture myself needing a PSU bigger than 120W, ever. Yet all the hardware review sites are talking about the next, greatest, 500-1000W PSU that you need if you want to play the latest games. Hogwash. Buy a PicoPSU.
