jkoci Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Just picked it up. It came with the original system disks, a Leopard DVD, airport, original keyboard, mouse, and an iSight camera. On the downside no hard drive and a bad DVD drive. I threw in a 500gb drive as well as a CDRW drive I had laying around from an old PC and some more ram to up the total to 2.5 gb from 1.5. I booted from an external DVD to install Leopard. It is up and running great. Now what to do with it? I may use it just run some old programs and as a backup. Never had a newer Power Mac before so it is cool to play with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thinkdifferent Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 That's a great deal! If it were me I would set it up as some sort of server, maybe to host files or a small website. That's a great way to make old macs useful if you're not going to be using them as your main machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MultiFinder Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 A dual G5 will make a great space heater while it's running as a server Quote Link to post Share on other sites
