Here are some reasons I can think of for keeping it:

1. Last desktop mac with a plaintalk microphone connector.

2. Last desktop mac to boot Mac OS 8.6.

3. Only 2X AGP mac. There are some older agp video cards that may only work in 2X slots so it is good to have the only 2X AGP mac around.

4. 4 memory slots vs. 3 slots in the DA and QS actually give the Sawtooth a slight memory expansion advantage if you use OSX compared to the DA and QS.

5. Only G4 with a firewire port on the motherboard.

6. The 100mhz system bus may actually be more stable than the later G4s especially with pci cards installed.

7. Very easy to install a hacked PC ATX power supply compared to later G4s.
