I use a rule-of-thumb that hardware over 5 years old is likely to fail under me.

For my file-server/email-server I use RAID enterprise disks with 5 year 
warranty.
When I'm at the end of the 5 years I replace the server completely.

My main desktop machine is getting old, coming up in 7 years, and parts
keep failing.

The motherboard ethernet died a little while ago and I added a ethernet
card. CPU fan sometime is noisy.

Now when booted into Windows 1 core is 90% busy all the time in
"System Interrupt" process. Fedora thinks the hardware is fine.
