WAIT!!! DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY YET!
When my Performa's Seagate/Conner HD died it was still under the OEM warrenty (5yrs) and Seagate sent me a new HD for free! Now, unforturately, they DID have an old 1.2 GB HD laying around so I didn't get a free upgrade, however, the rep said that they would send the closest size. So, considering the current HD market I would check with either the OEM and/or Apple and see what they would send!
Now, having said all that, even with the promise of a free HD I went and bought a faster 4 GB before the free one even arrived! Now I have a 1.2GB sitting around still in the box! I probably couldn't even give it away! Additionally, I have a friend at work who recently bought a 40 GB for $145 (I think on eBay) and I notice that Sam's Club is selling them for about the same price (probably a wash in price after you trade shipping for taxes). In fact, with the monster OS X coming, I may be replacing my iMac's little 4 GB HD soon!
Edit: One more thing, Apple used to ship repairs overnight UPS, so even if you had to ship the entire computer, it should be less than 3-5 weeks (although I'd check first!).

I just don't see any really compelling reason to try it out just yet.

Ah, you're just thinking with your head and not your heart! On the MacAddict Forums I've seen posters argue that we should run out and buy it just to give Apple a financial boost both literally and by way of Wall Street and good media coverage on March 24!  Me I've just been waiting for several years for a modern OS for the Mac, so I'll probably get it just because! (I'm the one who drooled over every MGE beta patch and loaded without question! ) Besides which, I need to buy about a gig o' RAM anyway so I can play CtP that the kids got me last Aug! 
As for Civ in Classic mode: it may be fine for single player, but not for MP. A post in my thread on the MacAddict Mac OS X: General Forum commented that the OS X PB could not see the internet. This may be an issue of the Classic layer not being able to see the hardware directly. As the poster said, "As for the retail version, we'll just have to see."
BTW, on the MacAddict Forums I registered as MacCiver.

My system is still covered by AppleCare but I really doubt they'd have any 6GB hdds laying around... planning to run over to CompUSA for a 30GB drive to avoid a 3-5 week repair wait.
