We have the PSU going tits up every so often in our lab. Seems the dust gathering around on the floor between the cables 'n stuff is not what they like... And i hit the caps problem here twice. That marked the end of ECS boards for me Anyway, 'bout that time every manufacturer had their problems with the caps.
What i meant with 'too much power cycling' is: there are people that boot up their machines, do something, and shut them down afterwards. If there's something again 30min. to 2h later, they do the same. THAT is not healthy... leave the comp on, the juice usage doesn't make up for the wear on drives.
