Friction and heat are two of the three most deadly forces to electronics. The third is electricity (surges, static, shorts, etc). The fourth is liquids (shorts and rust) but who would be silly enough to let liquids get anywhere near their PC?
For the record, my CPU is liquid cooled and my friend recently spilled tea down the top of his computer (RV02 case, which means it went down the top fan and right into the VRMs and graphics card vents). I still stand by the above statement.
What do you suggest that I do that would be most prudent of me when taking care of it (shut off, sleep mode, etc)? I don't want it end up dying after four years, which I think was pretty pathetic. My parents have a seven year-old machine that still alive and kicking.
