I think these days the PC value argument is a lot more about longevity and versatility than price.
Like in my case, I want to have an old fashioned LAN gaming setup in my house. I’ve already managed to find four PCs stored away, and they are all going to work great. Three are already set up and have linux installed and everything. So they cost a decent amount in their day, but now they’re kind of just free extras.
Careful. You’ll upset them in the middle of their lies about how cheap a PC is to build.

You can scratch out PC and replace it with (console of choice) and still have paid less even back then.
