I have one blade 1K, with a single 900Mhz US-III CPU, and 1G RAM.  It
actually hasnt been powered up in about a month.  The systems I use
every day:

Blade 100, 550Mhz, 512M RAM, 15G HD, Expert3D-Lite video card, 21" monitor
 (I own it, but it sits on my desk at work)

PowerMac G4 Cube, 450Mhz, 20G HD, GeForce 2MX, 18.1" LCD
 (on my desk at home)

Dell P2-450Mhz, 256M RAM, 80G HD, onboard video
 (under the desk at home, for fiddling with Linux)

Anything I do on these boxes I could do equally well, maybe not exactly as
fast, on a SM71 SS20 or 140Mhz Ultra 1.  The only difference is how fast
web pages render or screens redraw.

Heck, for over a year, I did my job with nothing but a Wyse 60 green screen
serial terminal and a telephone.
