Would you consider buying Tiger for one or both these machines? My original plan was to buy a Dual CPU G5 PowerMac to run next generation stuff on and leave the two existing machines with 10.3.8, which runs like silk on both.
I certainly wouldn't buy it for the B&W until you're sure it's going to run OK with the upgrade card. It should run OK on the iMac but only you can decide if it's worth the price.
ThinkSecret claim the imminent arrival of upgraded G5s and iMacs:

If you still want a G5 then it's worth checking the Apple refurb store on Wednesdays as they've had them at 20% off most weeks. If they do release upgraded models then they might offer bigger discounts.
