I'm surprised one of the boxes at work hasn't had much drift at all.  
Its a PC pretending to be a server (several years old now too) and its 
been up for 188 days and has only drifted a couple of minutes (its about 
3 minutes slow now).

A 188 day uptime certainly shows that Western Power has certainly gotten 
their act together the last year or so with power supplies up here in 
Broome.  A couple of years ago, you'd be lucky to go 30 days without 
having an outage large enough to drain the UPS.
