Ok, I'm kinda eager to look for a brand new Mac, tomorrow or Friday I'll have a total of $200 saved up (more, but I'm taking some to buy my niece birthday presents, she'll be 2). I won't get paid again till, not next week, but the week after. Anyways, here's what I'm looking for:
G3, G4 - PowerMac (B&W or better), iMac, eMac, iBook, Mac-Mini, Powerbook
At least 450MHz (for powerbook and iBook, specs can be 350MHz)
256MB of RAM
10GB + Drive
(Battery for iBook and Powerbook)
Firewire would be nice
Right now all I have is $200, but if you have a system like that for sale, it'd be nice.

You already have an iMac G3 I say wait till your next paycheck and you might be able to afford a mac mini G4, but if you do want it now then rickvanr is selling a pretty pimped out B&W.
Just my two cents.

I'd go for a B&W G3 and a old 17" apple pro CRT display these can be picked up on ebay for bargain prices and they are beautiful machines.

I'd go for the Mac Mini -
Afterall, you get a brand new system (the joy of unwrapping the system for the first time!!) Plus it's bang up to date, brand new components, and relativly powerful!!
Hmm, I almost feel compelled to order one myself.

Posted earlier, but could offer for a bit less (with small HD and CD). Very very capable machine, and expandable to dual 1.8 (even single 1.4MHz cpus have come down below $290).
PowerMac G4 Digital Audio
7410 533MHz CPU
133MHz system bus
10GB Drive - Tiger installed
256Mb Memory
CD-Rom drive
Airport ready (card not included)
ATI video (ADC and VGA)
$325 and shipping from 99577 and its yours.
Good luck on your search!

It's true.
B&W G3 450
52x Combo Drive
Zip 250
Radeon 7000 w/ 32MB VRAM (DVI, VGA, and S-Video)
1GB RAM
120GB HD
USB 2.0 PCI card
Tiger
Also, if interested I have a 15inch LCD I could throw in too.
If your budget is tight, I have a beige powermac which is pretty quick too.

Rick delivers what he promises. I am currently computing on a G3 B&W I got from him in a trade.
