Dipping it in motor oil on a regular basis will help keep it running smoothly.

You also get to choose quality components that get ignored by PC makers. They're not going to advertise how good the power supply unit is for example, no one wants to know, so they chuck in the cheapest they can get away with. But this means more heat, more noise from cooling it, far less spare power capacity for upgrading at a later date and a larger electricity bill. I have my computers processing at 100% day in day out so I make sure to spend far more money on a quality PSU. And if it does blow up a good quality PSU won't take out all your other components. Same goes for fans, thermal paste, cabling, case etc. I always intend having a computer running for at least 10 years so I don't want the motherboard to blow so I choose the makes the advertise quality components.
Dell will throw any old shit in there. Poor quality components may be initially cheaper but it still comes at a cost.
