1) Would it be bad to get a Peg I if I am interested in coding at an application level (don't want to do driver work).
Not at all, if you can live with the "minor" problems (TV tuner cards not working with AGP gfx cards, small sound distortion when moving big windows...) and slower (than Peg2) memory bus & processor
Oh, memory can be problematic aswell, but it will be no problem after you've found compatible memory...

2) Anyone know where I can get a cheap Peg I board and G3 processor?
Best would be if you could find someone willing to upgrade his Pegasos 1 to Pegasos 2 "georraphically" close to you...
Also some resellers might have Pegasos 1's, and most (if not all) sell bare motherboards.
