Your average PC doesn't have to be NEBS-compliant, doesn't have to work more than 24 hours w/o crashing, and doesn't have quite strict constraints on power & heat dissipation. It doesn't have to have redundant power, and its components are readily available and cheap (those are produced in _large_ batches).
