Claiming that low end components have shorter lifespan is ridiculous.
You've never had computer equipment fail on you?
I've had a lot of computer equipment.
Failures I've had, ranked in order of most failures to least:
keyboards
power supplies
hard drives
fans
monitors
I've never had a CPU, memory, or mobo failure. Which is really kind of
amazing.
I did have a 3DFX board once, which failed after a couple years. Never
bought another graphics card.
The keyboards fail so often I keep a couple spares around.
I buy cheap, bottom of the line equipment. I don't overclock them and I
make sure there's plenty of airflow around the boxes.
Same for me. Cheap hardware as well; and as standard as possible.
I've never had any pure electronic failure (graphic card including)! I
would just put fan & power supply before keyboard, and add mouse to the
list just below keyboard.
My keyboards do not break as often as yours: you must be a brutal guy
;-) An exception is for wireless keyboards and mice, which I quickly
abandoned.
