Hmmm. My space computer is an iMac DV, which I have an irrational love for...for $500 I can get a G4 popped into it, along with a meg of cache:

It says on the page its $299
you have to open up the computer yourself and change out and put back in the part....so you would have to be comfortable with that....
so $299 for G4 and while you have it open throw in a HD for 100 bucks (like this one)
and some more ram (here) for 80 bucks....
so you go from G3 400 iMac DV with lets say 256 of ram and a 10 gig HD to G4 500 iMac DV with 768 ram and 60 gig HD for $480 (round out to 500 bucks)....not bad...but i would probably run the g3 till it dies and keep it as art...that 500 bucks would almost buy an eMac or could be a nice chunk down on an iMac or iBook....g
mmmm...sweet silence....no fans running on this computer.
hold on just a minute. you actually have to take out the motherboard and ship it to this company. it's not an upgrade like a sonnet or newer tech cpu. i would be interested if it was something like a 733Mhz G4, but for only 100Mhz i think i'll take a pass and keep my imac in one piece.
