Is it a physical machine and not a VM? I already had issues with getting XP compatible spare parts years ago. Had to buy used parts that were already pretty old (so high risk of failing again).

It's a physical machine.

Fortunately, I don't have to deal with swapping parts. There's an outside contractor on call 24/7 for that.

The last time I saw it was about two years ago when I taped yet another piece of paper to the filing cabinet it sits on reading "DO NOT TURN OFF UNDER PENALTY OF LAW!"

Someone keeps taking the paper down.
