Well, of course they're perfectly servicable, but, IMHO, the small premium paid for a 6400 if IDE wanted or a 75/76/7300 would get you a much better piece of hardware. Of course if offered one for free, I'd definitely take one. ;-) For a server... That IS a good idea, considering that you don't have to fiddle around with the innards that much and case access wasn't the best. Oh well, the 4400 definitely was not Apple's crowning glory of PowerMac Desktop design.
