Well, since were comparing setups:

G4 Sawtooth barebones 125 US
450MHz CPU            35 US
896MB RAM     had it already
PS     modified ATX I had, 40 US
Radeon 9200, 128MB    120 US
6GB HD        had it already
USB keyboard and mouse 30 US

total    310 out of pocket
I could put in a 1GHz and make the total 510

Now, I still need to get that awesome SCSI drive I have working.  D*mn 
Adaptec.  Anyway, I bought the PC133 RAM for a beige G3 knowing one day 
I would own a Sawtooth or DA.  And I opted for the Sawtooth over a blue 
G3 because processor upgrades were cheaper, and I could use the same AGP 
card in any G4 I get in the future.  So every purchase I make I think to 
myself, will I still want this in a year?  Two years?  And so on.  And I 
will be having my Sawtooth for over a year more.

Sorry for rambling
