It's a neat machine, but I might not trust it as a daily use server. There's caps and disks to worry about, and software is a whole other kettle of fish. What kind of server do you plan to use it for?

As someone who's run a PowerMac 9600 as a server continuously for more than a decade, I'd say that when you have higher quality hardware, it lasts longer, generally speaking. Apple overengineered their machines in the late 1990s.

I agree about the disks - I always use new disks and some kind of mirror or RAID (where the "R" means redundant - striping is not RAID).
