    How long is a piece of string ? :D

    Its impossible to say. Some people will probably have theirs for 4 or 5 years no problems. Other people will have had GPU failures and stuff already. Personally mine is still going strong (bought it jan08 i think). The only casualty on mine is the left mouse button which doesnt click anymore. Must have pressed it too hard, or maybe it just wore out. Still works though, just doesnt click.
