How many shutter actuations is a DSRL good for?

Im looking to purchase a used body (Probably Nikon D60) so I have some left over cash for a decent lens. How many average shutter actuations is a camera rated for?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure it depends on the camera.

d40 and d60 won't work with as many lens as the d50, d70, d80, d200, d300, d700 etc.

+1, higher end cameras (at least older manual cameras) can also be 'rebuilt' when the parts wear or break.

Sorry should have read what I typed. The used camera I was looking at was a D70 with 37000 shutter actuations
