I've torn apart newer machines than that for parts, gotten for free or 
nearly free.  IMHO that is too much $$$ for a machine that won't even 
run OS X.

You should be able to get an old iMac for that much now, which you can 
put a decent amount of memory in and a newer faster HDD.  Put OS X on 
it or if you just want a server you can put OpenBSD or Linux on there.
