    I bought a 1.33ghz iBook G4 for $250 and got it in the mail a few days ago. Although performance is similar to a netbook, the facts that 1.it's 12" 2.it has a full sized keyboard 3.it has a combo drive 4.it has bluetooth and 5.it doesn't need to be hackintoshed were all really nice things. Also, I manage to get ~4 hours from a 5 year old battery; impressive, that is.

    When I downgraded the OS to Tiger (it came w/ Leopard), it started going pretty fast. Not anything to brag about, but definately not bad for a five year old computer.

    Here's a screenie of my desktop (click for full size)-

    I took a few pics of the iBook with my iPhone, and posted them to my blog at http://bigplrbear.tumblr.com, if any of you are interested.

    So anyways, this basically means that as soon as I sell my netbook, I'm out of the hackintoshing business (at least, for a while). It's been a fun 4 years :p
