If one can measure in MIPS per dollar, the MDD Dual 1.25GHz G4 is at the sweet spot. Between the bus speed, memory cost, etc, the only upgrade most of these need is the USB 2.0 card. I've seen $200 shipped not too long ago. The run Leopard just fine. I've picked up 3 on eBay, all still running. The dead G4 is the one I bought brand new, go figure. Look at the listings, 2GB memory alone is worth $100.
