One of my dedicated servers is 7 years old that is online since 2004. It hosts 150 domains and has heavy IO with load average 1.20+.

Sites are loading fine and the server never went down for hardware failure yet. But eventually it will die one day and I want to make it retired before it die. So I can avoid disaster..
What do you think how many years a linux server can be online 24/7?
