In addition, check out Small Dog Electronics 
(http://www.smalldog.com).  Not only do they have excellent prices on new 
Macs, they also sell factory refurbished models at a nice discount.  Like 
Stuart said, you can take the money you save and pump it into RAM and 
storage.

I got my TiBook as a refurb from these guys and saved a bundle (never a 
problem with it thusfar, either).  I've also got several friends with 
similar experiences on refurbished Macs.

And, if you're more inclined toward new, we just got one of the new 1Ghz 
iMacs for my wife at a good price too.

Nice guys, good prices, good service...
