Most of my RPi's are in the original shipping boxes - I find that's the 
best place for them. When a site such as Google runs 100% on them, perhaps
maybe I'll consider them. Then again like Google I mainly run servers. Test
cards just don't cut it... and the ax.25 stack on the newer kernels is very
broken - takes way too long to compile new kernels.

Personally I have "ok" luck with the one I have in use, but I limit any 
writing to the SD card as much as possible. It's helped stretch out the
life. 

I gave one to a guy who's 80 and refuses to retain how to debug when it
goes to sleep. I keep answering the same questions for him almost daily
for 10 years now. Makes the whole hobby very UN fun.
