I understand what you are talking about. I rather use an Amiga then a PC, because PC has very much problems with MS Windows. Even XP Professional doesn't work very well.
Sometimes I have the very odd problems with IIS or share Internet with other PC's. But I like those 3d games like Far Cry and Max Payne 2.
I love to play with my old Amiga, but my Commodore 1084s monitor has some powering up problems, but the monitor gives sharp and good display when I bought it 10 years ago.
Amiga's are sturdiest computers of the world.
