If you are in the market for a Mac laptop, there are a couple in
the on-line "proxy" auction that probably need just a little work.
In particular, the G4 Titanium with the broken hinges.  That's
maybe $100-$200 (they run about $100 each at pbfixit.com)--
or if you can find a truly dead one to canibalize on ePay...

The iBook 600Mhz G3 is not too shabby at $250 and no bids,
either, as it has 384MB of memory.
