Back when I was using Macs, there was a site called, "lowendmac" or something to that effect. I think they had a list for each model, as well a stuff for sale page. It was a good place to get advise, or pick up some cheap parts for a project. Not sure if they're still around, but there were a lot of helpful guys on it, must like this list.
