What about http://www.gainsaver.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?&CCode=1015^Apple&CCode=3398^Mac+Laptops&ACode=G4&CCode=3407^PowerBooks&cICode=43669 (US$100), then upgrade with http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/133SO512328L/ (US$16) and a Seagate 100GB 5400RPM ATA/IDE drive for US$25 on eBay. US$141. Sell the old iBook G3 (700MHz, Opaque 16 VRAM) that I have and make US$70, and the cost drops to US$71!
Then I'll challenge myself to do everything I do (including video editing!) on this 13-year-old machine!
Edit: And I can always sell it if I want to upgrade!
Edit #2: Oh, and I'll sell the 30GB hard drive it comes with. Another US$15-20, bringing the cost down to US$55-ish.
