If you like to get your $$$'s worth, buy a MAC! If you want to replace your computer again in 3-4 years buy a PC.
I've had my iMac for 4 years, and have not put a single dime into it aside from an OSX update or 2 ($30ish each), and it's always run flawlessly (I'd say my usage is similar to yours). I just yesterday finally decided to get a RAM upgrade ($50 to go from 1 gig to 4). Then I'll be upgrading to OSX Lion ($30). I can easily see it running great for another 4 years.
If you've seen any of the PC commercials lately, they are actually saying you need to upgrade after 4 years. My favorite is the one where they turn the woman's living room into a PC lounge, because her current computer is a whole 4 years old!!!! Of course she needs a new one (rolls eyes).
Macs in many ways are very much like the SAABs we drive, very unique and quirky in ways, but once you get into it and start using it day to day, you feel like there is no other way.
