Amazing. they have a dedicated ups on this machine and I can remember about 3-4 years back when there was some larger work on the electrical wiring in the building in question. We dragged power to the server room in question using extension cords (the 3 phase 380V kind that has a box with multiple 2 phase 220V plugs). The machine survived plugging the ups out of the power supply and into the temp. power and back again. That was 3-4 years back. ;-) Apart from that the machine lives on the far left on top shelf in an air conditioned server room. Nobody ever has to move it around if they want to muck around with some of the other machines in there. But the pc in question is a very plain off the shelf single cpu box with an asus board, an ide disk and 3 x 3com 3c590 ethernet cards. The power supply has not failed, the hard disk has not failed dispite continuos logging and rotating of the logs. > Kudos to FreeBSD on its equally impressive stability. indeed....
