Definitely second Fyron's comment about cheap PSUs. The same thing goes for fans. If a RAM chip dies, no big deal, toss in another.

If a PSU goes, it can either A. do nothing B. take out a couple components C. nuke your whole system or D. (doesn't happen often) catch fire.

Fans, if they die without you noticing, will do any number of things. Case fan..not a big deal, you'll have time to notice. CPU fan? Modern CPUs will overheat more or less instantly without a fan.
