Depends on the cost of the base system, and the cost of the upgrades.  
I bought two B&W's, both with PowerLogix 1 GHz G3's already installed.  
No, *I* wouldn't drop the retail price of the upgrade for an old G3,  
normally. But with a bit of effort, these systems can make great,  
cheap PowerPC boxen that can be upgraded to perform rather admirably  
for very little money.

YMMV, and to each their own, of course.
