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 !

    Can you remove the innards and put something current in it?

    Or is it built in a way that it’s forever useless?

      It’s not forever useless, but it requires a fair bit of fabrication.

      I passed on one years ago because it looked like way too much of a project. If I remember correctly, nothing would fit stock and the case was somehow divided by a bunch of stuff that would have to be cut away.

        I suspected as much. Apple isn’t known for its standard hardware.
