It also depends upon the stability of the local oscillator. Inexpensive oscillators (as used in PCs or most servers) are quite temperature sensitive. The temperature in your box will probably change as the load on the system changes or the room temperature changes. In fact, you can use a PC running ntpd as a thermometer.
