So, what's your advice, guys? What should I do with this dust collector? A shame as it seems, it won't take me back to the Amiga dream. Are those things worth any money?


Keep it.  Once MOS is released for it, the price for a G4 Mac Mini with rise, and you will regret it in the end.  Mind you they still fetch a pretty good price in Craigslist and so forth.

I could not wait any longer for MOS (and I needed some extra cash) so I sold my G4 for $420 CAD, considering I purchased it used 2 years ago for $500 that tells you that there is still a demand for them.

Also, if you have a faster 2.5" hard drive than the one in there (most likely a 4200RPM drive) it will increase performance quite  a bit.  I threw in a 160gig 7200 drive in mine and was a great machine, did not find it bog slow at all running Leopard.
