What would you take away from a Plus or SE to make a low-end Mac?  In what
ways would it have to be inferior to the above, yet still usable?

I think that the current used market for older Macs serves this low-end
market, IF IT DOES, INDEED, EXIST.  For example, a 512K or a 512KE satisfies
both of the above criteria.  Add a cheap HD  (and SCSI) to a 512KE, and you
have a relatively cheap setup.
