Apple linuxppc

In general I would stay away from the 6xxx and 5xxx series. The 7200's are
okay (they dont have an upgradeable processor), but they should fall in
that price range or less. For around 250-300 you can probably find a 7500
or 8500 which is a good solid machine and has an upgradeable slot for the
processor(you can get a processor from 100MHZ 601 - 400MHZ G-4), as well
as av capabilities and fast scsi on the board. 

www.lowendmac.com would have additional information as well as apple's
product spec sheets in the Tech Info Library (TIL)

www.macresq.com sells refurbished macs. which will probably be more
expensive than Ebay but its guaranteed too.
