How long do you think it will take until computer parts (like video card, CPU, RAM, and sound card) are all integrated into the mother board? I'm not talking just about simple onboard graphics and sound like right now, but some powerful video and sound chips on the motherboard, along with the RAM and CPU. Powerful enough to play games like CoD4 on medium settings.

A long long time. There is nothing on the Intel or AMD roadmap to suggest such a move. Maybe we'll see a GPU in a CPU soonish (AMD fusion)
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Other than what JS said, never, I hope.
Your more likely going to see the hard disc held completely on a server accessed through the internet, once speeds reach their potential.
wheres the option for never

Laptops/palmtops/web-books anyone?
Never. Would kill the PC market by not allowing enough flexibility in system pricing.

Never, people want flexibility.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
Gaming PCs never
Id hope never, everytime Id want to upgrade a small little thing I would need to upgrade EVERYTHING, it wouldnt be cost effective...
Consoles tbh

What happens if your on board video card blows out? Then what? The reason why this idea will never come to fruition. As other have already said, some people don't want to be stuck with the same machine knowing you can't upgrade it.
Who cares. i'm just waiting for them to develop a computer based on light. therefore processing at the speed of light
