Which makes this fact bubble up immediately: The case holds the
power supply which is quite essential and can cause random
failures when unstable (and yet this part is underestimated and
made cheap to save some pennies -- and cause a lot of time and
money to be wasted on the grief).
And for the uptimes: Do you remember the thread about which OS
runs coolest? I guess NT is the one of the above systems with
the most CPU heat. Do you remember which RedHat it was (i.e.
what Linux kernel) and how you judge the boxes load in terms of
"continously working and thus heating" or "loaded by chance and
just hand warm"?
Just a thought. Maybe it helps and you can recycle an old(?)
machine which is still fine for serving in the background if it's
too small for a desktop and the bloatware usually found there ...
