All my web-facing servers are running SPARC and/or for a couple smaller
projects, PowerPC. People thought I was a loon when I vehemently
insisted on SPARC over the years, and called me crazy when I hosted my
personal web projects on PowerPC. x86 is a disease.
A little bit extra in electricity costs, and a whole lot extra when it
comes to peace of mind - niche architectures ftw!

Check out the Elbrus architecture, its pretty clever. It can run
native SPARC binaries and also has a fairly efficient x86
compatibility layer built into the hardware. The way they achieve
bi-endian capability is pretty neat, in addition to their
aggressively large (20+) instructions per cycle when running native
Elbrus code compiled with their VLIW support.
