In power useage I'd say yes since parts aren't going to consume any more power than today but reliability I'd say no. That is quite a long time mate though if any manufacturer can pull that off it will probably be Seasonic.

I'd have to vote for Seasonic on their top end products with Platinum efficiency.  While any of them can live, I think Seasonic's are the most likely to due to their great reputation and quality.  Might want to find the most stable unit on JohnnyGuru and go with it!

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

Also they build them all themselves so at least their entire range will come from the same place so components used should share the same consistency in regards to quality.

10-15 years? I'd say it'll last 30 with some decay in power delivery.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
