I've tried many high-end setups over the years and reliability is always the number one metric in my experience. People focus too much on frames and not enough on voltage stability or transient spikes. Speaking of stability, it reminds me of this one time I was trying to diagnose a random shutdown on an old workstation build. I spent days swapping out parts thinking it was a bad capacitor on the board, but it turned out the outlet in the wall was actually wired incorrectly and dropping voltage every time the fridge in the kitchen kicked in. It was a nightmare to figure out until I bought a dedicated power meter to test the line. Anyway, sorry for the tangent, just got me thinking about weird power issues lol.
