I think burning-in a new PC is important(especially if the system is not yours)because it can isolate hardware problems before they would occur in normal use. Let's say, I build a system for someone who will use it for an hour a day. If I burn it in for five hours, then that is equivalent to it being used for five days. If there is a flaky component, you can determine it now, instead of a few weeks down the road.
