.... I stopped in a local Mac store today and found a Blue and White G3 for sale. It had 128 Mb RAM, a 6 GB hard drive and OS 8.6 installed. The thing that peaked my interest was the fact that it had a Sonnet G4/800 Mhz CPU upgrade installed. They are asking $350 for it. I am currently saving for a family vacation, so purchasing it outright is kinda out of the question.

Kevin -
Just to add another ingredient to the mix, ComputerSurplus in San Jose has refurbished B&W G3's for sale for $130 - no upgraded CPU unfortunately. http://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=COM10633
For anyone who wants to start from that beginning, it seems like a good price.
Just FYI, I am currently running a G4 upgrade (at 466 MHz) from FastMac - http://www.fastmac.com/ - in my Beige G3. I have had it for a couple of years, and have been happy with it. It was under $200 when I got it new.
Good luck in whatever you decide,
Tad
