Hey,
I have an old Power Mac g5 gathering dust at home, and I was asking myself:
“What can I do with this old man ?”
I first thought of just taking the case, but it’s not optimal to build a PC :P
It is also too much power consuming to make it a sever.
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks !
Lots of people, including myself, case-mod them to fit standard or extended ATX boards. The workstation style flow-through cooling can be really good.
There are guides online, but it’s easy to figure out. The cases are worth money to people who want to do this.
Grate some cheese?
It is sexy furniture, but one thing you could do is load it up with software from its time and just retro compute for fun. I’ve seen people do that to play old windows 95 games and stuff.
Put the cheapest, crappiest Windows PC in it and post it on some Mac forums.
Heat a room.
