I kind of love the PCI PPC era because of the clones. Apple's decisions in this era as far as chassis layout and design is enough to make anyone dislike them on that basis alone and there isn't anything too special about the PCI powermacs that makes any one of them specifically desirable as a general use machine, unless you plan to pimp one out, but I digress. I use a PowerTower Pro 200 w/ a G3 upgrade a lot. Its fun because it can natively boot linux/bsd without needing to bootstrap from within MacOS (as can any machine with of1.0.5), has an awesome chassis layout, lots of PCI slots to take advantage of, all without the horror's of apple's design during this era. I know it looks like a PC. Its quite simply a PC with mac guts. Its gloooorious!.

That being said, I wouldn't turn down a Daystar Genesis MP+ 932 .
