I run loads of machines 24/7. The ones that die usually do so overnite, most commonly with a smokey power supply failure. Occasionally (twice) I lost the power supply, motherboard and CPU all at once - but again its overnite so I didn't get to see them. Bodgy SpaceWalker motherboards is a likely culprit.
