One major variable is the electricity supply in your neighborhood. I had a
grounded outlet installed for my PC, and the electrician said that in my
neighborhood, the wires are flakey. A lot of surges and brown-out type
problems. This can reduce the life of anything in your home that runs on
electricity. I don't mind changing a light bulb every now and then, but
I'd like to keep my computer and refridgerator alive as long as possible....
