There are no cheap Macs that will work with the iPhone...

Mind you, it could be said there are no cheap Macs...

What you could try is look on eBay or something...

G4 dual proc and later G3 iMacs - OK for Tiger but Leopard nah.

eMac, PPC, the 1.25Ghz or above runs Leopard fine, but max is 1Gb RAM so limited multi-tasking. Cheap enough on eBay.

Unfortuntaley IPhone development wont work with PPC machines, unless you want a lot of mucking around.

Don't even need to build anything as flashy as that, a cheap ebay HP D530 with a good chunk of RAM will run Leopard (of the JaS variety) rather well. Not that I would condone such a thing... but google is your friend.
