The most reliable machine I ever had (and still have) is
a VAXstation 3100, running NetBSD.  That's rather off-topic
wrt your question though but it's my opinion that whatever
off-the-shelf PC hardware you buy these days, you'll never
reach the robustness of the well designed and engineered
minis and workstations from about 10-15 years ago.
