Reliability and load aren't really related.  You could buy something like a refurb HP server with SCSI drives and dual power for next to nothing and see excellent reliability.  We have dozens of DL360/380 machines in production with excellent reliability.  My reliability items are:

I spec'd out a DL380 for a client a couple of years ago. He balked at the price so I found a used SuperMicro on Ebay for US$150 including shipping.

He was skeptical until I pointed out the SuperMicro was less than the sales tax on the DL380. I suggested if he was unsure he could buy 2.

He did. We put them in separate datacenters and now he has complete redundancy. The SIP provider automagically provides the switchover.

There's a lot of 'outdated' hardware out there for very cheap dollars.
