Any failed fans? Temperature OK? Other than that I'm drawing a blank - you seem to have solid hardware choices but getting Microsoft type uptimes. The only time I have seen this was on a Intel 700 computer in our co-lo, the clients CPU heatsink/fan was not properly mounted - remounted the fan and spontaneous reboot problem was solved. Purely BTW : The only thing I would do different is get IBM or Fujitsu 10K SCSI drives. IBM if speed was important, Fujitsu because they are the coolest 10K drives I've ever used - seriously my 18Gb 10000rpm Fujitsu drive doesn't even get warm. I would also use AMD CPU's but thats a personal bias! But none of this can be affecting your random reboots.

I mean, come on, the box stays up for 106 and then reboots.
