I presume you mean Inexpensive :} I have a couple of USB wireless dongles that seemed to work fine in my G3 iMacs, in that when plugged in OSX would find them and then find local networks in my area. As I didn't have the password for any of these networks, I was unable to see how well they surfed! That was with USB1, I don't know if performance would be any better using a USB2 iMac. The flat panel G4 iMacs went USB2 at the 1GHz (15" model) mark. I use one of these all the time as my main online machine, normally connecting others by firewire when I need to have another machine on the net. I got my dongles on car boot sales, so only paid a couple of £'s for them. There seem to be plenty available out there for sale, some of them explicitly stating Mac compatibility.
