Post your equipment that runs 24/7. Whether it be servers, external hard drives, computers, etc. Also mention how long has it been running for.

I'm happy to say I have nothing that runs 24/7. Normally, my tv, Time Capsule, speakers, cable modem, and cable box would be on 24/7, but I have everything set up so that it can all be turned off with the flick of two switches to save energy all night. My MBP sleeps most nights, and the other Macs get shut down.
 
My MBP technically is always running, just sleeping. When I move I close it down through.
 
2 servers, 5 or so network boxes, my PowerBook, my external HD, Thinkpad G41 (mom's) a bunch of clocks/timers, upstairs AC (all day then half the night or more) power meter, dad's cell phone
 
Here is my equipment mostly in this photo This pic has been posted elsewhere on the forum.

1. FreeBSD Server housed in a 600MHZ fanless casing with 1GB Ram and a 2.5 inch 80 gb drive
2. 8 port gigabit switch
3. Dlink ADSL modem.

Not pictured is the time capsule, and apple tv.

Uptime for this box

9:26AM up 6 days, 22:18, 1 user, load averages: 0.09, 0.04, 0.05

Had to reboot due to failing ram.

I have the same motherboard / ram. The board has been a pain from day one. got returned due to the CPU INIT errors. Have you had problems with your board

Yeah i have a sledgehammer right next to me when feeling to give it a little punch, it should be erased from the earth.

I have got the CPU INIT problem alot and it always takes like 2 hours to fix it everytime so yeah, the motheboard is a pain in the ass.

My latest problem is that it totaly wont let me put 4 memory sticks in it, i have tried every volt on both memory and NB and every timing config but no luck there.
