I can buy a multimedia Powermac for (looking up price) $1749 - throw in
$100 for a more realistic street price.

That gets you:

75 MHz 603
256K L2 Cache
8MB RAM
800MB HD
4xSpeed CD (a fast 4x speed, mind you)
15" Multisync monitor
stereo speakers
keyboard
microphone
14.4 modem
Clarisworks
Quicken
MacOS

and might cheap options for AV and presentation hardware. (~$200 per, I believe)
