No but I recognise the customer ... The server sits in the bottom of a cupboard behind the counter area ;) The disk always gets changed at the three year service though ( if it lasts that long these days :( ), and the data is backed up to other machines on the network.

I've a lot of boxes that simply display a sequence of pictures. PHP system creates the list of static pictures and text pages with live data on. They just plod on year after year and many still have CRT monitors attached! Perhaps when the monitors finally dies they will cough up for a new display controller as well :) and the replacements will just have SSD's - no moving parts - so we might get another 20 years?
