I don't know about that particular machine either but in general for longterm use watch out for the SD card. I have 3 Raspberry Pi machines and all was fine for about a year but the SDs were gradually failing. One finally stopped booting and badblocks shows over 3% of it is bad, which caused weird random sporadic problems. I've got an adapter on order to plug an old fashioned hard drive into USB, it looks like that's the direction many of the people in the Pi forums are going, either DIY if you've got spare hard drives around or just external drives.
