I would edge toward the Q800 or Q950 since they could be later updated
with a powermac motherboard, but you will have to do some shopping to find
either at $350. I would skip all those system though, and wait and save my
money until the low end powermacs reach your budget. I have seen refurbed
7200/90 selling for $650, and the prices continue to drop rapidly.
