I'm always curious when people use this phrase.  I mean, who's ever
had a "system" die such that it required a complete replacement?
Short of being in a fire, or getting an electrical spike to blow the
system, I've never heard of a system just "dying".  And if it did,
then it's usually just one component, not the entire system.  So why
not just replace that one component?

Of course, if you're like me, you keep a system until it needs to
*retired*, but it never quite dies :) I've put several out to pasture,
but they've always gone out there working just as well as the day they
were bought :) (sometimes even better due to several upgrades throughout their life).
