Any piece of hardware you buy will be obsolete eventually.
I think the main advantage a PC has over a streamer is increased flexibility in upgrading software. That means they will be around longer.
The Revo I bought 2 years ago is still working fine, whereas the WDTV Live streamers I bought went into the trash because they could not handle Netflix. So while I spent double the money on the Revo upfront over the WDTV live boxes at the time, it is still in use.
