To avoid the whole blowing up motherboards and spontaneous combustion
of other parts, why not settle for a nice iBook SE 466mhz. It has
firewire therefore can charge your iPod and it's battery does last
longer apparently. There's a few of them for under $500 on ebay but a
lot of people still like the model so when selling it could get more.
I'm using a Lime currently and it does me fine for tasks similar to
yours as well as more demanding and it's case is sturdy for travel.
Acting as a portable DVD player is a nice feature too. They've all been
on lease or something so they should be a little looked after.
I prefer them over the 500mhz.

I know I'd probably "over price" my PowerBook when it come time to
part with it.
I tell you I'd not feel comfortable biding sight unseen on something
sold by some one with that level of user knowledge. Also the "resale
value 6 months ago" of $1500 was for run out stock of the 800 & 900
Mhz G3 iBooks I know because with educational pricing they were
$1100 and i thought about getting one with my tax return.
Well, you did ask for 2c worth of advice, which is what I gave :)
Have fun,
