What I consider a "base" G4 is the "Sawtooth" model of the PowerMac G4 tower, one of the first G4 towers released. It comes with a 400mhz G4 processor, a DVD drive and a 10gig hard drive. But 4 drives can be added internally and memory can be upgraded to 2 gig. The processor can be switched out and upgraded as well. I'm running a 1.2 ghz G4 processor in mine.
I did a search on ebay, many completed sales of that machine were in the low to mid $100's
You would need a monitor with that, however.
You can get an eMac for about $250-$400. Not sure if it's your price range, but that may be a better option. Of course, in that price range the mini becomes an option as well.
Re-reading your post again, did you want a laptop? Or is a desktop OK?
