Is a PTHD2 PCIX w/ G5+control24 still good for commercial studios?

[gsilbers]

i saw some studios currently having this type of system.

G5 dual 2.5ghz 8gb ram
Pro Tools HD2
Control 24 mixer (1st one)
Digital 192
Adat Bridge 24
( for a total of about $6k)

now with so much talk about HDX , the above systems seem to go for relative little money and if they made gold records 6-8 years ago seems they should be more than enough for a current 2011 commercial music studio. (of course + good mics+room+speakers+musicians)

right?

depends on the marked
NY, LA, Nashville, London on one of the few big albums: no, got to chase the dragon
any were else it should be OK for a few year but,
if it's a liquid cooled G5 the clock is ticking before it leaks and dies
