I'm sorry but it's not apparent to me what the problem is with a non-iMac
G3 as a 24/7 server. The only thing I can think of that you can't easily
add is redundant power supplies. And since it's possible through 3rd
parties to get a G3 motherboard in a rack mount case even that omission can
be remedied.

Also the number of tasks that truly require 24/7 is pretty small and for
those I'd choose a UNIX flavor or an IBM OS and probably not Intel hardware.
