I should like to echo the above.  I was having panics from hard drive
errors.  I repeatedly ran the diagnostic disk and would get errors
early on but then no bad blocks would be found.  The machine ended up
going down every night.

After seeing the above, and Thad Floryan's thing on power
conditioners, I put in both.  So far, not a problem one.  

Thanks again for the help particularly Thad and his spotting the power
supplies.  If anyone sees anymore, please post.
