Re: [cobalt-users] Raq4r life span....

[Jeroen Wunnink <jeroen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depends..

If you're lucky (like you) it could run on for a while, though we've had 
more then 1 raq4 HD fail.., and now and then I get to replace fans..

Good backups are the key ;-)

It's simply a roll of the dice, it's moving parts if it comes to fans and 
HD's, and those are subject to wear and tear.., at home I still have a 
Pentium 200 running with an antique 500 MB running as firewall and simple 
webserver on a cable connection, but I also have 40 GB HD's laying in my 
drawer that have crashed a horrible death within the manucaturers 
warranty.. (so although you get a new HD from them by filling out an RMA, 
you've still lost the data on it)
