I had a similar issue a little while ago - I was running OS 10.2 on my 350 MHz G3. I wasn't worried about the speed but I wanted firewire ports and a CD burner - so I bought a nicely equipped 500MHz iMac on ebay for $300, sold mine for $120, so had a net outlay of $180. Of course I already had OS 10 and a decent amount of memory (384Mb) that I could swap to my new machine.
I agree with others that an emac is the "sensible" way to go - but I just couldn't bring myself to buy something that ugly.
If the Mac Mini had been around at the time I might well have done that instead
