Hey- Money's a little tighter and I hate to part with her, but I might if I was confident she'd get a good price. I've done a lot of stuff to her..here's a list.
Originally was a dual 1.25 powermac g4, MDD, not FW800. So she's a dual boot machine, everything works great in OS 9
She's overclocked myself to a dual 1.50 ghz machine, runs perfectly stably, and has been for over 6 months.

Upgrades (approx value):
Radeon 9800 Pro ($150)
Acard SATA PCI Card ($60)
120gb WD and 160gb Maxtor SATA drives (~$80 each)(NOT the stock parallel ATA drives)
Sonnet Aria Extreme Wireless PCI card ($60 wiress G card)
5 port Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card ($30)
1.25GB RAM (512 x 1, 256 x 3) (~$150)
This probably is the fastest G4 machine you could ever buy. XBench Scores (http://homepage.mac.com/wangahrah/xbench.htm) are around 190, which is really high. Xbench isn't really all that good for the graphics stuff, but it show's the CPU workin great as well as shows significant drive improvement from the SATA drives. The extra SATA drive is great for scratch work with Photoshop, etc.
She's the best gaming machine possible in a G4 and if a mac gamer is interested in her, I have lots of titles, let me know if those are of interest, too.
She'd come with the retail version of Tiger install CD, as well as all the system discs.
I'd hope for somewhere around $1750 for all the love and upgrades put into her. Is this feasible? Offers are welcome, and we'll see from there.
