I have been more than pleased with my power mac G4 Digital Audio 533mhz. I have it configured with a 120gb and a 40gb HDD, a superdrive, and 512mb of RAM and an apple studio display and pro speakers. The Digital audio is the first G4 that will use apple pro speakers. I would recommend a Digital audio over a quicksilver, even though the processor speed of a Digital audio me be slower. It is a more stable machine. As for Sawtooths, they are reliable, have 1 more RAM slot than the digital audio, and supports the same video cards. The yikes is basically a Blue and White G3 with a faster processor.
Hope this helps

I've been running a G4/800 Quicksilver Powermac for almost 4 years now and I haven't had any problems yet, whether I'm running OS9, OS X or even Yellow Dog Linux. I've added a second HD and upped the memory to 1Gb and it's doing everything I want without a hitch. Nice, reliable machine (and I can say the same about my Pismo G3/400 Powerbook).
