Hmm.. I am currently trying out MorphOs on the basic Mac Mini G4 (1.25Ghz), I like the small form factor and the quietness of the machine, but I do suspect that eventually I will struggle with it. I guess upgrading to the 1.5Ghz one would be the minimum.
But if you're happy with the machine for your use and display needs, nothing prevents going on with it either. Good thing is that you can test it to get some kind of impression about the situation.

My biggest issue with Power Macs is noise, the liquid cooling ones are also a big no, and they don't really look as nice as the Minis.
Yeah, they're a bit clunky machines in that regard. I have few PowerMac machines (2.0, 2.3/dualcore, and 2.7 modded to air cooled) waiting when my mini breaks/retires, but so far I've just liked the quiet, small, and energy efficient solution more. I also have a Powerbook or two for a compromise, but I just find laptops uncomfortable always :)
