First post so please be gentle!

I currently run 5 machines 24/7 (3 workstations plus a Smoothwall and a 
DMZ). These have run for 2 years almost continuously without any 
problems other than my rectum twitching all the time! I wanted to house 
the Smoothie and DMZ in a cupboard out of the way but concerns about the 
(increased?) fire risk means that I haven't done it yet.

HTH!
