Comiserations on the machine loss, but glad to hear that you've got the drive back and salvaged most of your data.
Auto re-boot on power up is risky unless you also have auto power-off on thermal monitoring, and alarms that indicate if a fan has failed - but you know this.
As an IT guy, myself, I apply the 'cobblers children have no shoes' principle - I'm running a scrap old twin Pentium-III under my desk right now, with the lid (side) off to keep the air circulation going.
As they say on alt.sysadmin.recovery 'All hardware sucks, all software sucks...'
