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.

I have for project to build a gaming pc, but I think I won't use it for this (for now, I'll see when I'll be more experienced)
