I have a 1999-vintage G4 tower that gets turned on almost every day, although it is mostly used only for film scanning, video conversion, and sound editing. It's been upgraded with the maximum amount of memory, a CPU accelerator, new hard drives, an SATA card, newer video card, and a USB 2.0 card (hard to believe it came with USB 1.0 on the motherboard!), but amazingly is still running the original power supply (I do have a spare handy just in case).
