it is amazing how long electrical equipment can run if kept in appropriate
conditions. Not PC related I know, but there waws a case in which recently
of a family who have had a fridge and it has been running constantly for 47
years.
There is no reason really why a well ventilated cool running PC couldn't run
as long.

There has been an attested case of a BBC Micro running for nine years
continuously and some of the exhibits at the London Science Museum are still
run by a BBC Micro or two. It had many interface options whcih made if good
for controlling things (eg. using the programming language FOURTH) and way
ahead of it's time it also had ethernet. Most PCs didn't come with ethernet
as standard well until about seven years ago.
