Interesting, I have 2 "servers" in my garage datacenter that have run 24/7 for 3 years without hiccup (except the 2 times I powered them down to my houses, and the 2 blackouts that drained my UPS). I run approx 8-10 virtual machines across them, and they are made out of off the shelf components nothing serverish about them. My total DC consumes about 5kw/h per day.
