It will not be anything really weird.
Processor is hard to say because they are currently developing some new types of processors witch are really not in the clear. For example GPU/CPU in one chip and quad cores so that's really hard to judge right now.
4GB of ram maybe some 8GB perhaps.
Hard drives capacity will probably be about the same giving the fact that most PCs will probably have two of them. but a new type of hard drive called a Ready Drive are in the making witch will greatly improve hard drive performance.
Video cards will be quite more powerful for the buck. Probably 1-2GB and around 24+ pipelines for low end cards.
Some PCs will probably have the option of HD-DVD or blueray drives.
Windows vista will be out.
Other then that basic design will be the same and the average PSU (Power supply unit) will probably have around 200 more watts then to days average.
P.S melanchol does not know anything. lol windows vista will be out within the next 3 months to 1 year. Its minimal specs are nothing to what he has posted or I have posted. Most off the shelfs PCs in todays world can run vista.
The whole 6TB hard drive from the post above mine is pretty absurd. I did not give them a thumbs down someone else did that. Why? Because even in todays world a 750GB hard drive is hard to make and they think they can make hard drives that have 20-40% more room within the next 2 years. So thats only about 2TB top. So in order for a PC to have about 6TB it would need 3 hard drives witch right now 95% off the shelf PCs only have 1 hard drive. So I find it very hard for a PC within the next 5 years to have any ware near 6TB even with 2 hard drives.

I think Sara has the right idea. about 4-8 GB for the ram because it will be about 6 months before 4 GB start to become popular. And yes there is no way there will be more then 2 TB hard drives before 2010. I can see computers using multiple hard drives obtaining upwards of 6 TB but 6 TB from one or two hard drives is very unlikely.
