They're quiet? Quieter then a Gigabit G4?

Don't know the Gigabit. But at least on the Sawtooth there's a fan you can disconnect with no trouble unless you add more HDs or fill every PCI slot. That makes it very quiet.

Since the later G3s suck less juice than the G4s (even clock-for-clock, as I understand), there's not going to be a lot of heat with just one modern HD and a graphics card...

Yes, much cooler and quieter.

The fans needed to cool a G4 tend to be very loud. The processor gets extremely hot. Ever listened to an eMac? My word, they must have borrowed that fan from a Hoover or something.
