Happened to me as well a couple of weeks ago, not the piston ring, a different seal, but you realize how dependent you get on those machines.
The machine still has warranty, but a repair required me to order a postage box on the net, then post it to Italy, and receive it back god knows when.
So I ordered a ridiculously overpriced seal at a local hardware shop instead (with fast delivery).
And then I ordered a whole set of different seals on amazon to be prepared for the next breakdown.

I also own a french press, because mokas can break too (also allows me a lot of freedom to experiment with my coffee).

I feel this is indeed a philosophical truth. Limited money is one such. If the money is limited, then the buying choices are also limited, leading to faster decisions. Money in plenty makes one struggle to choose between too many options.

Cooling cooling cooling.
Things I've never had to do before:
Add up the wattage of all my components.
Downgrade a processor from the one I wanted due to wattage and heat
Carefully consider my airflow design, since liquid cooling won't work ideally in my case
Measure the height above my CPU to find a good enough heat sink.
Downgrade from my preferred video card so my machine doesn't actually catch fire.
Consider the distance between my PCIe slots.
Gosh, they are really pushing the envelope in terms of power and thermal properties of newer computer designs.
You have to pick your case, fans, sinks, PSU, CPU, and everything super carefully.
I hope I built in enough headroom because I'd hate to find out that one day my little cube of computer power turned into an expensive furnace full of slag.

Sounds like you are confined to a small encloser. I just built a new rig and had to measure if my heatsink would fit. I'm working with a mini ITX case, it's entire front is a 20cm fan, cooling isn't a problem. I'm not going to advertise it but "Thermaltake mini itx case" should find it.
Why do you need that gpu you have? Are you using your dev box as a game machine?

Edit: My preferred would be a 4090 but for fire hazard and cooling issues. I like to build 10 year systems, and a 4090 is by best shot at that.
The 2080 TI GPU i bought because i basically stole it for that price. I figured if I didn't use it I could resell it and easily more than double my money.
I just got a 3070 TI for free tonight too. Didn't even have to pay for shipping.
I do use the 2080 TI to play Fallout 4, which I play to scratch my game development itch (the game engine allows you to customize and otherwise modify it until it's an entirely different game)
But primarily, it's a development machine. The GPU is a luxury.
I don't mind developing and gaming on it because everything I do is in source control.

Probably off topic but as you know I'm a Windows guy. The dev box was for experimenting with SerenityOS.. I'm super impressed with how much horsepower you can pack into these mini-ITX cases. I used an AMD APU, no need for a gpu.
Don't try to combine a gaming machine and a Dev box, what a ridiculous idea.

Don't think of it as a gaming machine. Think of it as a dev machine i occasionally let distract me.
I actually don't have room for two PCs in my space.

I want single core performance and a RAID 1 NVMe setup on my dev machine from now on. I'm playing for keeps. Compiling lots of little files every time i have to rebuild is getting in the way of my productivity. It will pay for itself easily.
You can't really do that on an ITX machine. You have cooling issues unless you go total open air and even then you can't really get the higher end CPUs to run on those without cooking.
Even my MicroATX case won't handle a 13th gen high end i7 or i9. They run at 250W. My power supply can handle it, but if I didn't melt the CPU i'd melt the mobo.
Then there's my 4x NVMe RAID enclosure. I can't use onboard RAID because I want 3 sticks to saturate my PCIe 3.0 x16 bus and I also don't want to RAID my system drive. And the enclosure is as tall as a video card, and needs cooling.
And the GPU. My GPU requires at least a 600W power supply minimum, 700W or better recommended. That alone should tell you how it feels about ITX setups.
The bottom line is after looking, ITX won't get me what i want either from a gaming rig, or a dev machine. not yet.

Not that the GPU gets used a lot during coding, but it's not in the way either. VS works perfectly fine on a gaming machine. There's also a server here, in the living room and having two desktops on two writing desks in the living might be a bit much for her. There's also a server here, running 24 hrs/w.

Even if you keep the core of the system for a decade, improvements in perf/watt on the GPU are high enough that you'd probably come out ahead at the ~5 year mark buying the same level of performance @ 80% lower power. Unless you want your gaming performance to decline from god-tier to potato over your system lifetime you'll need at least one, probably two GPU swapouts at similar performance tiers as the original card.

I only really play Fallout 4, though I mod it to the point where it strains my 2080 TI
I will continue to play Fallout 4 until Fallout 5 comes out. At this rate I will probably be dead or blind by the time Fallout 6 launches.
A 4090 should do it for me, I think. Though on reflection, a 3090 TI is a safer bet for my system and I could always swap it out later.
