An offline-replier advised me to look at the power supply. And since 
that's relatively easy to do and cheap, I'll go with that first. It now 
has a 300 watt no-name PSU for less then €30,-.

I've played with the thought (sorry for this Dutch English) of a second 
machine (this time in a datacenter closer to where I live :-) ) since 
it's the easiest way to upgrade everything without any downtime. Anyway, 
thanks for your advices!
