You have good reason to have them all on then  :-)

I don't think I've ever had a PC die, I once had the PSU in my Acorn Archimedes die and had to be replaced - half the problem with risks of failure is the MTBF rating, afaik which means nothing - it tell's people how many spare parts they should buy in order to keep something running over it's envisaged life - not really how long it is between failures - I saw an article which applied MTBF to an average fit male human, and the MTBF was worked out to be something like 34 years - which is obviosuly not true.

I think we've taken this thread slightly off course!
