Now that is something I would be willing to shell out $$ for.
It does not make sense to have BLAZING fast computers when most ppl are connected via DSL/cable and the actual speeds depends upon reliability of your ISP.
Its all about the network, as my networking instructor would say.
A flaming fast computer will do you no good if your still running a single 384kbps DSL.
This is because a majority of apps rely on a connection to the Internet (eg. IE, FireFox, games, AV, Windows Update, IM'ing, email). The only apps that don't need a connection to the Internet is Office (except when you click the button to check for updates), that is of course granted that you do not have "Microsof Update" that checks Windows and Office automatically.
