I remember my days (actually years, but time compresses things) with
multiple Series 70's that ate power supplies about as fast as my wife's
old Ford Fiesta ate water pumps (if you ever owned a Fiesta, you know
that this was a rather frequent occurrence)!

For example: having gone through 3.1
power supplies on two machines in 3 years (the .1 was a failed fan), I
think redundant power is a necessity on a gotta-have-it PC server. But
I've never seen, or even heard of, an MPE box being down due to a failed
power supply (which means that the three of you who have had such
failures should now speak up).
