humorous and true story. The Big Mac system at Virginia Tech could
tell you if it was day or night. There was a dramatic increase in
memory error rates during the day. I saw a very nice graph showing the
effect.
Do you have a link to that graph? may be an article too?

Seems the earth is a pretty good shield for nasty high energy
particles from our local light source :-)

So just run it as a server at night and you may be fine!
