When I build a new computer, I try to salvage anything possible from my prior one.  Then I get whatever other parts I need from one vedor or another, so my boxes are not the sort that the insurance people can predict the lifespan of.  So they would usually clasify them as uninsurable.  That is the case even when all the parts are industry standard and current.  Besides, it is usually cheaper to repair or even rebuild a machine myself bearing the cost myself than it is to pay the premiums.  I built the machine that I am writing this on now almost ten years ago, other than somthing minor like a dead floppy drive, it still works fine.  Replacing a floppy drive was cheaper than the cost of a service contract.  That would have been a lot of cash wasted on insurance premiums.
