I'd go SE/30 since you can pick up 16 mb simms fairly cheap these days on eBay and build a 131,072 K machine. Slide in a Daystar Turbo 040 card and you'd have a pretty neat machine. I guess for colour you could snag a Color Classic and swap out the MB for one from an LC 575 which can take a 128 mb simm for 125,168 K of ram. You could swap out the 040 CPU for the Apple or Daystar PPC upgrade card though it honestly won't make the Mac feel any faster but might let you run a slightly newer OS.
