I
think you are being somewhat un-realistic at 10 years....
The
biggest weakness seems to be capacitor breakdown, therefore research boards that
use the highest quality capacitors from mainstream
manufacturers.
I have
run a range of "good" makers and I have found them all to be stable for
years....FIC, Gigabyte, Asus, Tyan. To be honest just pick a board that does
what you want in terms of features, buy 2 and store one carefully if you are
that paranoid. Get a good online UPS that will isolate your power supply ie
one that reconstructs the sine wave, and get good quality PSU's, these will
effect the running of your server far more than the board quality.
Motherboard reliability is probably the least of your
worries.....
