That machine has been powered pretty much 24/7 since almost the turn of the century (2000) and today I smelled a hint of burning. It is the secondary backup of my businesses cash register and database system. Fortunately I have a prime backup plus an off-site backup plus the original machine which has been on since 1998 (24/7). This one was a secondary redundant unit so nothing was in danger of being lost. But still, I was hoping for an even twenty years out of it.
I was expecting the power supply or the hard drive to fail and I'm surprised the motherboard went first.
A replacement has been sent for.
