PC Peripherals standby hardware

[bottle]

saw this being discussed at another forum and thought it would have interesting here as well ..

do any of you keep backup pieces of hardware (spare ram , vid card) so that in case anything goes wrong (heaven forbid) on your main rig you have a back up device to use while you get the faulty part replaced ?

6 months back with my AXP i sorta had.. RAM, graphics card, mobo, 2 CPUs n all .. eventually i sold them all.. not with my present rig though.. i have a back-up plan shud anything go wrong..

 

[AlbertPacino]

Nothing at all,if something will break up,i just need to give a call or order it online,next day its at the front door,you pay the postman & its yours.

 

[deejay]

Yes.
generally a psu, set of rams, a HDD, etc....
for the main rig.
besides the backup / experimentation m/c ......

No backup hardware except my old 64MB Ram if in case my 256MB ram shud go.

I have two desktops at home. Guess one of them can be qualified as a backup system.

Also have some spare fans, old cd rom drives, a heatsink and a power supply-most of these are old stuff.
