I think OS X is able to put the CPU in a lower-power state than OS 9 can; in my experience running OS X on a G4 mini back in the late 2000s, the fan was silent when idle or doing basic tasks. Besides that and the lack of a sleep mode or usable internal speaker, OS 9 on the mini is great.

My G4 mini is my go-to OS 9 machine, and I decided to replace the thermal paste since the fan has been quite loud, even when idle, ever since I bought it on eBay a couple years ago. I don’t have any scientific measurements for before/after, and I don’t think the fan is spinning any...

For anyone else looking to buy an AiO, here's some of the difficulties I experienced getting mine working. These (and other CRT things manufactured by LG for Apple during this time period) have a nasty habit of their flyback transformers dying. I bought my molar mac "as-is" last year on eBay...
