Your weakest link is not having redundant power feeds. Two PSUs doesn't
help much when they both draw power from the same place :-)
Right... so get two (high quality online UPS's, and plug one PS into one
UPS and the other into the other UPS.
Most hosting providers have generator backups, so as long as you
buy/specify high quality UPS's, you should be fine.
Everything else is a distant concern. When did you last hear of a CPU
failure anywhere at any time? CPUs do not fail for the most part. When
they do it's because everything else got hot which brings us back to #2
in the list.
Don't most newer server boards detect over-temp conditions and shut down
automatically?
