I have been thinking about a Plus server for a while now but I'm concerned that having a Plus switched on constantly would bring it to a quick death. Since I only have one Plus (which was my first Mac) I really wouldn't want to risk it.

Your post reminds me of a thread a long time ago, in which Mac128 wondered if there were a simple way to disable unneeded analog board subcircuits to improve longevity. I'm still waiting to get a round tuit, but once I've acquired one, I'll try to devise a (reversible) method for turning off the video and sweep circuits. That would reduce the load on the power supply to such an extent that leaving the Plus switched on continuously should not be a problem.
