I'd be confident in buying an all-in-one; I'd be more concerned with the display than with the other stuff.

Just to be sure, by lifespan I meant pleasant performance vs. demands lifespan. Monitors have a bit of that from increasing expectations and perhaps some fuzzies, but otherwise they keep displaying whatever you throw at them. I'd hate to see one of those 20 or 24's devalued by the CPU. Yes, this is more of a factor in the PC world of high-turnover $200 boxes.
Psst! Tell your boss the first generation of C2D boxes are a bargain as refurbs!
