I just got myself a DA G4/466 with 384 megs 'o RAM for $20. Came with the original box and packaging, which is always nifty to get

Got it to set up for a friend as her first experience with the Mac

Sweet score, and a great starter Mac for a newbie. You can put a decent version of OS X on there, and the CPU options are great too. I scored a dual 533 CPU for $70 from olde-mac-milt

Verily. Or even an oldbie. I'm posting from what was a DA G4/466MHz/384MB only 8 weeks ago, but is now 733MHz/1GB, dual boots 10.2.8/10.4.11, and drives a 20-in ADC LCD display. It has taken over entirely from two 500MHz CRT iMacs as my workhorse(s), and has the screen real estate to be useful for sound and text editing.

Fantastic! I am posting from a DA G4 733. I boot into 10.4.11 and 9.2.2. DA's are some of the fastest macs that can still boot into OS 9.
