PS/2 keyboard port RIP

Dear lazyweb,

The PS/2 keyboard port decided it was done being useful when I powered on my desktop this morning. After being taken to the cleaners by Best Buy (misnomer, ha!) for a PS/2 -> USB adapter, I’m back up and working.

Should I worry about other failures following close on this one? I’m not budgeted to replace a system right now, but I’m reluctant to go for a motherboard swap just for this failure if it’s going to stop at the keyboard port. The motherboard in question is an Asus A8N-SLI Premium, and I’m using an IBM Model M keyboard (naturally.)
