This weekend I broke out the calculator and priced things out.

G4 mini 1.42 Ghz w/ 80GB HD and 1GB of ram and a superdrive = $842

Upgrade to my B&W G3: Sonnet 1Ghz G4 card, 2x256MB for 1GB of total Ram, 160GB HD, Radeon 9200 128MB video card = $737.

Though maybe not exactly equal the G3 will be compareable to the mini with more space and more Vram for less money. Looks like this may be the way I go esspecially since I can buy all the upgrade parts over time and the mini I'd have to pay for it all up front.
