The OP said "desktop computer" specifically

The OP also said "...and completely replaced it with a smartphone and/or a tablet". Replacing a desktop PC with a notebook PC doesn't meet the criterion.

You win, I lose. Hope you are happy. :)
That having said, I did buy a bluetooth keyboard for my tablet and plan to not replace my notebook when it dies as I hardly use it.

Hmm, interesting - what tablet device do you use? I am now wondering how to convert a PS/2 keyboard to Bluetooth...

To me, the defining characteristic of a PC, as opposed to a tablet or smartphone or any other kind of personal computer is the keyboard and display. I guess a traditional whole-hand mouse helps, too. Likewise, it's hollow to claim one doesn't have a desktop computer if one plugs one's laptop into a docking station and uses a full keyboard and giant display screen.
