I had a chance to grab a FW800 single 1ghz machine for $119 not long ago. That's less than I paid for my 533mhz DA a few years ago. I let it go because the shipping would have been too much and I didn't feel like driving over to Brooklyn to pick it up although he did also have the seldom seen 667mhz DA and a couple of other things that might have made an in person pickup worth it.
2 weeks ago i got a 1.25 DP FW800 for $75 b/c the person who sold it to me didn't seat the ram correctly and it prevented it from starting up. Last weekend I got a 1.25 UNI (the fastest stock OS9 machine) for $15 that the person said had a dead CD drive. Well, i got that one home, and it does not power up (the light on the power button comes on for a second, but it won't do anything else), so i think it has a dead PSU, but i got 2gb of ram for the one that does work, so that made me very happy!

I think my oldest half brother has a 667mhz DA, I never new they existed until i saw his :)

but yeah, the prices on G4 towers are plummeting, I no longer feel bad about passing up a QS for $90 about a year ago :D
