I concur.  I plan to have 2 systems with mirrored
drives both up and running.  One live - one on
standby.  Both CPU's will be on short-term UPS to
eliminate power spikes and inadvertent circuit
breaker twiddling problems.  Yes Virginia, some
function halls still don't have switches for 
lights - just an unlabelled circuit breaker panel.
