well, i tend to replace my workstation about every 4-5 years, though i
professionally use it and earn my money doing development on it,
perhaps i'm not actually representing the casual enduser here ... 
(i have servers in the basement using up the worn out parts from the
former workstations though)

(and yes, i own a bunch of soldering irons and stations and actually
regulary use them for embedded electronics and tube amp building) 

:)
