There is probably even the question whether we return to times as 1986, when the PC (I have a bill for it) was costing $7000 - and was specialised "business equipment"?
UNIX workstations were also expensive in those days; Linus, according to accounts that I've read, wanted to run a UNIX-like system on commodity hardware, hence the Linux kernel project began. 64-bit ARM CPUs are under development for server environments. Perhaps the future of the high-end desktop workstation ultimately lies in that direction.
