I've had one brand new psu fail and 3 fail in pcs that had been running for quite a while. Next up i've had about 3 hard drive failures. The only ram problem I've had was some really cheap Geil ram 2 years ago which when turned out to be part of a faulty batch.

Would you class a pint glass as faulty if it broke when you dropped it?

The 2 most common components to break are floppy drives and power supplies. Having said that though, the only things I've had break on me are a AIW 9800 Pro and a 9600 Pro.

Well after saying i only ever had a PSU and mouse die my motherboard died on saturday
Its a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000Pro-G which had been running for 1 week. Bought from OCUK and i really hope they're not as bad as some people say they are
liteon dvd drives - cheap rubbish
I have a liteon dvd drive - has worked fine for years

Power supplies. I have maybe 10 dead power supplies in my cupboard. Fortunately, most of them aren't mine.
I've lost count of the amount of Floppy drives I've had fail, but my current rig is on its third one, and I hardly ever use the blooming thing!
For me, Optical Drives have been more unreliable than HDD's, I never had a HDD fail within its warrenty period, but have had CD-ROMs fail after a couple of months! Mind you, I always buy Seagate for thier reliability then I go and buy an LG CD-ROM
I replaced all my Optical Drives with Asus ones recently and have had no problems at all

Not a truer word spoken! Had mine barely a year, with minimal use, and it just completely died without warning.... Junk!
I dont have much luck with CD/rw/ROM drives, but this is only due to the fact that I keep buying cheap ones.
Apart from those I've had:
1HDD fail - due to me I think...
1GFX card fail - Voodoo!!
1PSU - cheapo, got a few years out of it though.
Apart from that, everything alse seems pretty reliable *touches head*

It would be wise to caress your wood
It would have to be PSU's for me, I have had a few go on me. (Only the cheap ones though in pre-built systems. I have never had a decent PSU go)
What about peripherals? If they are included I would have to say printers have given me more hastle over the years than anything else.
well reliability wise... my MS Intelli Explorer has now been going over 5 years - flawless!!
But it did cost me £50!! so it bloody well should!

If you're going to look at that then every single component/pheripheral on my sisters 7 year old dell is still going strong except the mouse that could be on the way out
Motherboards for me... mine is playing silly buggers as we speak.
