I think the key to this post is that ordinary computers have a lot of 'moving' 'mechanical' parts
in them.  Moving parts include CPU fan, Power Supply Fan, Hard Disk, CDROM drive etc.
All of which can fail at any time due to the nature of mechanical parts.  This means a greater
chance of network failures due to these issues.  Tha'ts why i prefer to deploy a re-flashed linksys router than an actual PC unless there is another underlying reason not to do so.

since you're a service provider, I'd be very careful trying to run a
"Pentium 4" PC based router. now if it's an embedded Linux box with
diskless hardware, I'd go for it. :)
