So far my spendings payed off, last change is a year ago, a broken gfx which was still running on warranty, so I got a new one for free. Considering that I was not sure about system lifetime and investing into AGP already 2.5 years ago, I cannot complain. The other components were replaced because they broke.
I think it did it's duty. Next time I get technical problems that do not get resolved by kicking against the side of the box, I buy a new one. In six days. Or six months. It depends.
then I'll be back with questions on mainboard and gfx.
