Server isn't meant for individual folks; it's meant for businesses
that can write off the expenses. Plenty of people use the non-server
version of OS X for running server software. Vendors (whether Apple
or third party) should really raise a red flag if an individual wants
to buy Server; perhaps you can guilt-trip your vendor into a refund
or credit for the price of Server (perhaps give you AppleCare
protection in its place), and revert your machine to the non-server
version of OS X? AppleCare for a G4 itself is $249, and would cover
whatever OS came with it, for three years. Or maybe the $49 plan
would cover it? There are many options cheaper than the $200/incident
plan, so call Apple back and get them to tell you what they all are
and what they cover.
