My point is that with CPU cost coming down, HDD cost coming down, irrespective of bandwidth cost, what does the use get ? What is the benefit that will be derived in terms of money, efficiency, etc. by moving to NC ?

for most endusers it may not make a difference but for companies which have regular backend operations, it will make better sense outsourcing CPU cycles IMHO. Use of Cluster computing is on the rise due to precisely this reason. So backends will consist of Clusters/outsourced grids. We may start looking @ CPUcycles/computing power just like we look at electricity today.
