I'll second that. I've done several 7100s at the Lab and they are 
still useable of general office stuff, especially if you add lots of 
memory, and a big, fast hard drive. I usually put in Newer Tech 
upgrades, as I had  really no major problems with them. 
Unfortunately,they've gone out of business.  Powerlogix and Sonnet 
processors seem to be decent for the 7300 based on postings to 
xlr8yourmac.com forums.  SmallDog   seems to often have  good deals 
on cpu accelerators  http://www.smalldog.com/. (No connection except 
I've been happy with their service.)
