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 !

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.

    I'm on a 90s dos/windows gaming group on Facebook and people there love showing off their old builds full of era appropriate games. And for those with the passion but lacking the hardware, there exodos.
