My A3000UX has been running nonstop for a year and a half.  Before that, swap motherboards with my plain jane A3000 and that ran for two years.  Before that, back to the A3000UX which ran for 7 years nonstop aside from an hour here and there changing the hardware configuration.  I have not had luck running C64's for too long.  I blame bad power though.
One thing I recommend:  Get a GOOD UPS.  I have a bunch of APC ones that have failed and put out *lethal* power.  I honestly don't know what's better though.

@Kolla:

I don't doubt it!  If I didn't routinely run crash-prone software under such a crashable OS I would never reboot.

That gets me thinking.  Why should an Amiga be more runtime-failure prone than something like a Sparcstation?  I have Sparcstations that ran for over 10 years, only being rebooted when an OS upgrade came out.  I have a Sparc 20 running right now that's been running since the day it shipped, save a day or two here or there.  And it's as stable as stable gets.
