Like I said, I like the SS20.  Having said that, I have a dual-head U60, 
I would imagine that you are about dead-on in the price range.  With 1G 
RAM, 2x9G 10K drives, 2x300MHz, and 2x C3D I would ask around $1200, 
sans tube. (I might be a little high, even, but I do a good deal of 
testing on my systems, having the resources to do so. <g>)

I like mine - I have the first-gen (1.5-gen?) iBook SE/366, with 320M.  
OS X runs fine, (I'm using it right now), and the wireless can't be 
beat.  I actually prefer the "toilet seat" design, so I'll keep mine 
unless I can find a 466SE to replace it. (Firewire would be nice.)
