Luck of the draw.
However, the hardware in the machine that is most likely to fail includes the hard drive(s), the disk drive(s), the power supply, and fans (notice: all the moving parts). They could all last for many more years or they could all fail within a year.

well regular defraging is always a good ideal.
a disk check is a good ideal if you think it is acting odd you maybe able to find the errors in time to correct them or be able to back up before they cause a crash and keep your fans cleaned out they are the life of your computer in many ways but best thing is keep backup of anything important

I'd suggest keeping an external hard drive handy to back up files every month or at least every 3 months... I've had a couple hard drive failures and bad viruses...
As for cleaning... Get a small, fine brush and a can of air with one of those long, thin tubes to spray and clean your computer, but be sure to wear some sort of hand protection, mostly to keep your skin from touching the metal, like a leather glove... Or you could follow the simple instructions any computer site has... Wear a static-guard or touch an unpainted metal object to the case's metal lining to ground yourself... Then, carefully, go to cleaning the system. And if you have a CD or DVD burner, burn your files to a cd every now and then just in case the external drive fails, if that's possible. Dual layer DVDs work well... Blu Ray burners will allot you a supply of 50GB Dual Layer Blu-Ray discs soon enough. Oh, and as for eMachines? Avoid them. I wouldn't put too much hope on that system lasting much longer, so if I were you Solano, I'd look into getting a new computer and moving your hard drive over to the new system. Just in case.
