I've been using XP SP1 since this PC was new in 2005, and I have never bothered updating it, nor have I needed to. This PC still works as good as new, despite being on 24/7 and having an OS which is nearly a decade old. I have not replaced one item of hardware yet, aside from installing an AGP video card, a 60GB hard drive for games/emulators, and increasing its RAM to 1GB (previously 256MB OEM).
I am yet to fill either the OEM 40GB or 60GB yet (I have around 12GB free in total), simply because I do not feel the need to backup the entire internet's worth of ripped films and game data. I have a video store's (gone bust) worth of original VHS tapes and DVDs for that, as well as quite a few game consoles of which can all plug into the back of my stand-up GameCube cabinet, or the 50" plasma in the living room. I haven't stepped into the coin-operated side of things just yet.
