My Pismo made it a good solid 2.5 years until I dropped it and cracked the screen. Replaced the screen and it made it another 6 months or so before my little sister (who inherited it) managed to break the power coupling in the adaptor port right off the sound card. Why the power adaptor port was soldered to the sound card I don't want to know.
My white iBook is holding up beautifully. It's over 3 years old. I've had to upgrade the hard drive from 40GB to 120GB and the RAM from 512 to 1.12GB, but that's because I'm asking it to run Photoshop and 6 other programs all at once, and it gets grouchy, as any 3-year-old would do.
At work, we found that the original G4 towers were made of indestructable material -- we're still running a number of 6+ year old towers. The Quicksilvers, on the other hand, break if you look at them crooked, and they're only 4-5 years old! The three-year-old mirror-doors seem to be doing well, though Haven't gotten my hands on a cheese grater yet.
