I bought a "Gigabit Ethernet" G4/400 a couple of months ago.  It had 
a 20 GB HD, a DVD drive, and 512 MB of RAM.  It came with a clean 
install of OS 9.2.2.  I paid $400 for it from a local Apple dealer. 
A lot of similar G4's were going for $500 and up on e-bay at the 
time.  I already had a ATI 7500 card and a 120 GB  HD that I put in 
it.  I am think they use PC100 RAM which is not all that expensive to 
upgrade.  I could be wrong though.  Large capacity hard drives aren't 
all that expensive either.  Just food for thought.  I am extremely 
happy with my purchase.  I am a full blown switcher.  No more PC's 
for me.

Good Luck
