Ok, here is my personal spin on it.
If you look at the minimum (and more importantly..recommended) requirements for the hardware and software for computer based recording you will realize that they practically mimic the games of current.
Yes, ideally..you would want your machine to be dedicated. However, with thousands and thousands of dollars in hardware and software who can afford multiple computers plus the energy bills for running it all.
Todays computers are not only faster but also run much cooler than those of yesterday. Computers today are more integrated in to our lives they they ever were thought they'd be.
In todays culture, computers run our cars, are in studios, run the radio stations, are built for HTPC(Home Theater Personal Computer) and etc. Fact is, they are in everything we encounter in a normal day. And if you really want to get technical..they are in pedals for the guitars, amplifiers, etc. They are require processing of some sort...just like a computer which has a CPU (Central Processing Unit).
Another very critical point of interest which no one has seemed to bring up and explain is compatibility. Just like building an awesome gaming machine all the parts must be compatible. If they are not, problems will arise and troubleshooting them because a nightmare. When assembling a computer based anything you have to do your research, visit forums, read reviews, tests, etc and sometimes call the manufacturers and verify that the intended hardware/software is compatible with _________. Hope that helps some of you out. I forget sometimes that everyone doesn't know things like that.
As for the audio....I personally am leaning to a professional level sound card (PCI interface) and a set of THX certified speakers. Of course, if I could afford it I would go gung-ho and get the baddest power-amps, and monitors I could find...but we all can't be loaded like Paris Hilton either...rofl

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
