"Even so-called High-Spec PCs are often built with some (usually less than 'normal') cheap and nasty components. These inevitably fail and need replacing, thus the requirement for PC spares is higher." Can you substantiate that?
Yes, my sisters Pc is utter (|24p! you're talking like �11 for the motherboard with everything on board, next to bugger all expansion and the most inconvienient hardware shipsets/drivers you have ever come across in your life! Even XP can't drive most of the hardware! you need to go to their (5|-|i+3) website and install the drivers youself.
What components in these PCs are cheap & nasty?
Everything except the power lead. ;-)
