When you have a datacenter full of devices, you'll see alot more failures...
I've gone through hundreds of fried power supplies on hardware.

Sometimes its the caps drying out and popping. Sometimes the fans get
clogged up and components overheat. Sometimes something fries out in switching guts.

The fun ones are when one side fries itself, and feeds back into the
redundant side and surges and trips out that side as well. 

Always something to keep you on your toes.
