Well, if you are planing on running OSX or using any type of wireless, go for the pismo, the Lombard is a great classic machine, but lacks support for DVD, Wireless (3rd Party Driver for all cards, etc...), Video, and the 66MHz bus does not help.

I have resurected a wallstreet and have installed the 500 mhz g4 blue card into it. It is running 10.2.6 pretty well. no complaints, other than 1) no DVD, 2) no scsi, ie no cdrw.
I just returned from the sticks with a 5300 to refurb, but I would rather trade the 5300 for an old yellow dog, then shoot the dog. A wall street would be a great step up from the 5300. I have a box of cards running on this old box, firewire, usb2, Orinoco wireless with Ioexpert driver, I removed a 12 in passive display and placed a 14 inch and this is why I love this old brick. I have sucessfully installed a 40 gig drive, split into 5 partitions, and have 2 256meg sdrams installed. Mandrake is pretty squirly but can look nice for about 3 reboots. then text only. FYI and not really very I.
