- Schedule usage so that one has regular breaks from the computer.
- Defective plugs, cables equipment etc must be for repaired/replaced.
- Liquid spills must be mopped up immediately (although no liquid should be nearby anyway).

Buying high quality components, especially your power supply, will go a long way towards making sure it is around for a while.
Finally, get a decent surge protector or UPS.
