Is 11 days of uptime supposed to be impressive?
It's hardly the uptime of someone who's struggling with kernel panics and random crashes. Last power down was when I embarked on a trip. The previous one was a system update. In fact, I never saw a kernel panic with this machine.
Here's my 10.6.8 Snow Leopard MacBook Pro laptop:
sh-3.2# uptime 11:28 up 117 days, 19:13, 4 users, load averages: 0.91 0.98 0.95
I think the part you quoted was referring to hackintosh machines only.
Still, there's no doubt in my mind that Apple are doing some "move fast and break things" OS development.
Not here. My Mac is at about 11 days of uptime and it's under constant use. At this moment, I can't say it's less reliable then my Linux machines.
In this specific case, however, I'd consider ditching the enclosure and ducting cold air through the internal chassis/heatsink. A Macpro is, essentially a heatsink with boards mounted on it and I'd just let the chassis do that part.
