Uhm... no offense man, but your builder is the biggest moron in the world.
Wife's box - see above. Runs @ 100% 24/7 doing Folding@Home. Temperature - 39C-41C.
Mine - described elsewhere, basically the same, slightly slower, same HSF - same core temps, same duties.
I measure the overall uptime in months before reboots for everything at home, that includes the Duron 750MHz running the F@H Diskless CD @ 100% load 24/7... months.
If they can't do full-load processing for days, then fire the retard building them and build them right.
It's easy for people to buy Dells and whatnot... they engineer the damn thing with a heatsink/heatpipe combo that's rated to take care of double the heat the processor will ever crank out. Presto, reliable, silent computers.
I have a Celeron 466MHz at home that runs my webserver. It's also @ 100% 24/7. It's in how you build and maintain the bastards, not a narrow perception of the architecture.
