I bought a dual 864Mhz "Mirrored Drive Doors" (aka "Wind Tunnel") G4 on 
Christmas Eve 2002 - and its been on, pretty much 24/7, as my main desktop
machine at home since then.  I've maxed it out to 2G RAM, put in a second
optical drive (CDRW), installed the Apple kit with quieter power supply,
replaced the main fan with a Panaflo L1A. 

I love it.  Running 10.3.3 right now.  I didnt even reinstall OS9 when I
did the last wipe-and-reinstall a few months ago.
