Did you mean burns DVDs in 5 minutes? 5 hours seems a little slow.
I put a 22x DVD burner in my Quicksilver, it burns DVDs pretty fast.
Figured a dual g4-500 would have made a nice old OSX 10.3 machine for
utility work.

I too snagged a Sawtooth looking to upgrade. Had a Uni-n 5. Damn!
Went to OWC and picked up a single Powerlogix 1.6 GHz processor.
That was my main machine till the Intel iMac followed me home.
Still a strong machine and my backup. Burns DVD's in about 5 hours.
I control the Sawtooth, a Gig-E and Digital Audio from the iMac.
