Agreed. I'm still loving the MDD G4, and for less than $200 you can find dual 1.25GHz, 2GB memory, and a Leopard OS. G4 or G5 will not run Snow Leopard, which requires an Intel chip. If I were to give a warning, it would be that you need a USB 2.0 card, all of about $10, and that's the only needed upgrade.
I had beige G3 both with 500MHz sonnet chips. No regrets, but they were getting long in the tooth. I've made the claim that if you look at MIPs/$, the G4 is at the peak as far as I'm concerned.
