Reasonable useful life for e2900

What would you think is a reasonable useful lifespan for a Sunfire e2900. I'm not referring to it's performance capabilities as much as I'm referring to the hardware's ability to perform reliably.

if you have a lifetime warranty... you can use it for life... but i would say a 10 years lifespan is what you can expect.

Roger, Oracle has replaced the mobo and will be replacing two of the psu's and possible the same motherboard again. At this point, it would appear many of the significant components have been replaced, probably with refurbished hardware, I suppose.

It'll be interesting to see how much longer these systems will work reliably.
