And the anwser your original question - go with XP. Support/Updates for 2000 will expire sometime this summer I believe.

To the original question, win2k is set on ntfs file and xp should be set on ntfs but xp does perform better on a bad shutdwon than win2k, especially on a network.
Example, last week one of my win2k machines shut down, (no ups) by a child pushing button, programs were loaded into the reg from a secondary drive. On reboot the second drive disappeared and registry was borked.

To reduce NTFS's vulnerability to sudden shutdown, have Delayed Write turned off.

@110 ambient temps, you are only going to blow more hot air at it. and what of the processor? 110 ambient temps and a PC locked in an extra cabinet? sounds like a bad idea. Happy I don't provide warranty on it
Those who do not know, are lost...

Thanks everybody for the discussion. Plastics factories are pretty rough environments, especially when you start talking about PC's - even industrial models.
Platypus, I'm not familar with "Delayed Write." Where do I access that setting?

In Windows Explorer, right click a drive and select Properties, then choose the Hardware tab. Select the drive in question from the list, press Properties and in XP select the Policies tab, in W2k Disk Properties. You'll have the option to uncheck "Enable write caching".
2k offers no explanation, but XP comments "This setting enables write caching to improve performance, but a power outage or equipment failure might result in data loss or corruption."
