To my mind, the PCI Macs are at the point that Nubus Macs were at about a decade ago. They're cheap or free to pick up, and as the standard is now deprecated, you can pick up interesting PCI cards for a relative song. Also cheap to upgrade. So it's time to start hoarding!

Problem was of course, the vast amount of machines and similar models released during this period, most of which were a bit crap. I'd much prefer a nubus PPC machine over a low-end PPC model any day, most of them were rubbish and have no worth, sadly.

The truly awful ones (52xx/62xx) didn't have PCI slots. Actual PCI machines from the 90s are pretty rock solid, in general.
