Same for me. Cheap hardware as well; and as standard as possible.
I've never had any pure electronic failure (graphic card including)! I 
would just put fan & power supply before keyboard, and add mouse to the 
list just below keyboard.
My keyboards do not break as often as yours: you must be a brutal guy 
;-) An exception is for wireless keyboards and mice, which I quickly 
abandoned.
