What do you do to keep it cool? I use three fans (one to cool the motherboard and the hard drives, one to move the exhaust air, and one more for the UPS) for my desktop server .

It's a cube. No need to worry about it getting too hot. At least at this point, I haven't really stressed it out too much.

Heat is always an issue for me and my Sparky (a Sun Ultra SPARC 200E w/ dual 10K hd). I guess I follow the logic of 'keep your stuff cool and it will last longer' and besides, I can't afford to get hardware problems.
<strong>I have a Mac IIsi (yes, that's a 16MHz 68030) that has been running for about 7 years. The only times it gets rebooted is when there's a power outage long enough to run out the UPS. Probably about every other year.

<strong>What are load averages, and what do they mean? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>
if you run the command 'man top', it gives u the manual of top - in it, it says that:
---------------
uptime
This line displays the time the system has been up, and the three
load averages for the system. The load averages are the average num-
ber of process ready to run during the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
This line is just like the output of uptime(1). The uptime display
may be toggled by the interactive l command.
---------------
When I see the above load averages from the other comments, it shows right away that Mac OS X is a dynamic OS. My Linux (red hat) server :
3:24pm up 51 days, 15:02, 1 user, load average: 0.15, 0.04, 0.01
<strong>4:06PM up 112 days, 6:17, 1 user, load averages: 0.09, 0.01, 0.00

On my Ti. I put it to sleep most of the time.

I wonder how many people follow the above logic?

I rebooted this morning since Mail was acting strange.

Beat that.
Well, here's a guy running a website on a floppy-only Macintosh Plus.

Someone should submit this to slashdot...
uptime 1:54PM up 7 days, 18:49, 4 users, load averages: 0.25, 0.17, 0.12
6:55PM up 22 days, 21:10, 3 users, load averages: 2.06, 1.80, 1.52
i thought OS X was supposed to be rock-stable; why is everyone's uptime only a few days or hours?
<img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> what the heck does "3 users" mean? i'm the only one using my computer.
