I have a "pinstripe" grey G4 PowerMac with (if memory serves) a 400Mhz CPU -
would this be a safer bet?
Is there any way to underclock the 1.25Ghz CPU's in the mirror door for improved
reliability in the mirror door?
We used the MD PowerMac as an OS X 10.3 server running Macintosh Manager catering for two
suites of eMacs and iMacs running 9.2.1 "back in the day", and I don't
recall it being overly unreliable.

bad idea.
Mirror door G4's were the least reliable machines we released.
Too many compromises getting to a GHz, esp WRT noise and heat.
I personally like Beige G3's, or mid-life G4's for differing reasons.
And I use a Wallstreet daily (last portable with ADB and SCSI).
