Laptop as Music Server - Wear?


Interested in user's thoughts or opinions on the degree of wear that using a Laptop as a music server that is on (but not necessarily is use) 24/7. Perhaps my biggest concern is the issue of mechanical wear as well as physical due to heat. For the sake of discussion, assume a USB or FW external HDD holding the files.

I'm considering this for a Squeezebox based system. Install Squeezecenter on the laptop with file access, hard network cable to main system (it exists in my residence) then wireless to Squeezebox/PS Audio DL III.

thanks

I like the concept of the Fit-PC2. I wish one could put OS X on it. That's where my music is now and that's what my less-than-ultra-computer-savvy wife deigns to use. I assume that's not an option...
