I picked up a dirt cheap beige G3 Server Tower (really neat case)

the cpu to a 400mhz unit. So far so good. It's got OS 8.5.1 on it

really snappy. I popped a 32 meg ATI card into it and that's good,
especially with my 21" Nokia Monitor. I put a DVD ROM/CDRW drive
in it and
that's okay. I can do data DVD's fine but I don't have software
for DVD
movies on it. So far I've been happy with all my upgrades...next I
want OS
X. Will I need any more hardware to get OS X to run on this?
Ram, 256 minimum, 512 realistically, at that point you might as well
max to 768; that only costs $75 at OWC.
With the DVD drive in place OS X will install DVD player and it'll
work just fine. (like USB and Firewire system installs in OS 9, OS X
doesn't install DVD player unless a DVD drive is present at
installation time.
