Downtime is unacceptable to me so I have backup after backup.
My main PC is three years old and has had no issues. It's a Alienware Aurora R4, 3.6 GHZ, 16 GB of RAM. It has two video cards, both with on board memory; I run three monitors. I can be playing Call Of Duty on one monitor, watching a movie on another, chatting on Skype on the third monitor, and be rendering a movie all at the same time without any issues.
My back PC is an Alienware x51 running two monitors, and an Alienware MX18 laptop in the master bedroom hooked up to a spare monitor. I have another smaller Alienware laptop, and then my Microsoft Surface.
Three years ago I decided to re-work how I did everything with my work and moved over to cloud computing. I can switch from computer to computer without skipping a beat. If all of my computers in the house were to die, I could buy a laptop off the shelf and quickly be back up and running.
