Earlier this year I had 5 computers die on me over a period of a month and a half.

Guess who is a lot more conscientious about backups and source control than he used to be.

With all those new computers I'd say you don't have to worry about backups for at least another 2 years.

I guess that comment was cynical, but just to be sure: http://blog.backblaze.com/2013/11/12/how-long-do-disk-drives.... Especially in the beginning there is a higher failure rate for disk drives. So it is actually the opposite: backups should be one of the first things to arrange for new machines.
