I'm asking partly due the Minimig project. Ie what models and parts should be re-implemented first. And what parts or designs are likely to fail first.

Seems the list can be broken down as this:
0) Battery leakage (Real time clock)
1) Mechanical parts (floppy, kbd, mouse, connectors etc..)
2) Capacitors (Power supplies, audio)
3) Heat dissipation (Alice, various chips)

Azryl, The onboard cpu should be easily replecable!
Find a keyboard that works, document (and publish) how it works. Then program an AVR/PIC to do the same job. Much easier to replace.. ;)
