I'd disagree entirely.
I know. But in the scenario I described I'd have everything I started with AND not be out the $100. Not to say that there weren't issues WRT using Panther, but it's all moot on a PPC anyway really. The bus it went under is already over the horizon.
iPhoto has also been steadily improved over the years
All I ever did with it was rename all the photos, which doesn't rename them. No longer having it, I don't put photos on it any more. <shrug> I still have my iPhoto library; I just don't have a reason to have it any more. Not _my_ fault.
Upgrading iPhoto, and sticking with leopard will get you a much better system.
Excepting the other upgraded apps that want more hardware than I have. In which case, I'd still have less software than I started with and be out _more than_ $100.
Actually, my most likely course of action will be to ignore the iMac entirely and score the cheapest used Intel Mini I can find.
