G4 Goodness

The other day I decided to look in my school's recycling pile, to see if they had anything worth taking. I was hoping for an Imac g4, in case I could figure out how to convert the screen to a dvi input, but I found this instead:

Yes, that is Leopard Server. My friend has an unlimited edition he got for free from the tech guy at our school, and he lent it to me. The specs are:

1.25 Ghz PPC G4 - I could actually upgrade this to a 1.8 Ghz Dual
1.5 Gb ram, (512 added by me)
80 Gb HDD
Geforce2 Mx- it is labeled as having a Raedon 9000, but it was downgraded as it was used as a server before they got rid of it.

My current plans for it include replacing the fan, which makes a pretty obnoxious noise, and installing the iPhone SDK, because there are workarounds to use it on a PPC mac.

nice find heh.. definitely something to tinker with :)
ive always wanted to rip into a mac... :P
question.. in the first pic... is that a pioneer amp in the background?

Yep, that's a pioneer amp. I have it hooked up to my main computer, and have some Mirage SM-.5 speakers to go with it. My parents were going to throw it away, because they did not have space for it, but I took it before they could :)

Nice, you have the only G4 tower case I don't, the MDD case.
