Joe, I don't know your needs, but from what I've seen, a PPC-based OS 9 Mac comes cheaply these days off ebay... I've got a 1 or 2-gen bondi-blue egg-shaped iMac that I bought that way for my kids (their other machine -- they are twins, after all, twice as expensive as singletons -- is our old Cube).
Come to think of it, I think I have an old pizza-box 601 machine in my office that I might be visiting tomorrow. I wonder if I can resurrect it as a Moodle server (truly atrocious semester that has ended with me essentially guessing grades as various IT boo-boos, server crashes, resets etc. has eaten essential grade data as late as a week ago)... I'll be happy as long as I have a machine that can boot OS 9... That Flying Colours software I mentioned in the other thread is a good example of neat stuff I can't run in OS X (and, honestly, wouldn't want to go through the hassle of getting a virtual XP/Vista(ugh!) machine to do the same thing). Good luck.
