> Do you want to close down a major power plant to install a PC based replacement and hope that it works first time?

This will probably sound weird but I actually feel better with that 1960's stuff in there even if the PC based replacement would work the first time.

If only because I think that it wouldn't last. PCs are built using cheap components, even the industrial ones. It's very hard to even find a power supply that will last more than a few years. And anything with a 'regular' fan on it is immediately suspect.
