1400cs can be upgraded to a G3.  I doubt it would hold up to
OS X, but probably PPC Linux would be good on it.

The 5300cs might still be useable for trade-ins...it was one of
those warranty extension boxes due to hinge issues.  They
used to periodically have a "trade in your 5300 for $X off of a
new Mac.  Dunno if they still do that--it may be out of the fix
period.
