In reference to Symon's comment about server reboots, there is a moving part that would cause you to want to reboot your server -- the hard drive. Although it is not an extremely common occurance (especially since hard drives are supposed to be sealed), they can gather, for lack of a better term, gunk in the spot where the hard drive head parks when the server (or any pc for that matter) is powered down. I have seen where the head on an otherwise perfectly working hard drive will get stuck when the hard drive parks its head after powering down for something totally unrelated, like installing RAM, etc. Now, what was an otherwise functioning server, has just crashed. Powering down the server periodically apparently can prevent this. Just a little side note to nit pick :)
