I think it depends on your situation. I need a pc anyway and I have no multi room, multi system issues so why not use what I have to do double duty.

I have no use for another gaming system as I don't play much.

The only items that make this any different from a normal PC are some quiet components like the power supply and the addition of a video card to handle HD out when they get around to making that work. If you want to put all your music and movies online, you need to add external storage to the PS3 anyway.
