How about a Power Force G3/800 MHz ZIF, sold by OWC for $199.00?
Well, it's really depends on your situation. OSX has officially passed the beige G3's by, and their value on the market has plummeted. I'm not putting anything more into mine that isn't going to either return me a good price sold as a part or isn't movable to a newer system.
That CPU is nice and fast, and it's pretty cheap. It would depend on what you wanted to spend and your eventual upgrade options. Bear in mind, if you sell it in a year you're not going to get a whole lot for it.
Rick mentioned the DA system that jumped in price on e-bay...this is why I call the Sawtooth the sweet spot. The machines themselves are relatively cheap, no more than $500, and they can take the top of the line CPU upgrades right now (which would be dual 1.25 GHz) They take a lot of memory with four slots, and the bus speed at 100 Mhz isn't top of the line, but it's not shabby, either.
