I have the G3 and G4. I have an old computer shelf where I keep my relics. (Like a Powerbook 5300c and a ALR Ranger)

You could get Riven or Myst by Cyan (Video Games) for it. Great games! 10/10 would actually recommend.

I think it is a very pretty computer, as is the g3. You have to realize that the computer is more than 10 years old.

 

Most computers of that time were pretty unexciting

If they made the g4 today I would buy it. (Well it's apple so I could not afford it but yk) because it's pretty and good monitor stand,

If it's not too slow to pull up web pages and you're interested in an small ego boost, I would recommend donating it. Seems crazy, but there are still people out there without the ability to procure a ten year old computer that would be amazed at the prospect of communicating with their family on Facebook for the first time. Besides, you throw that thing on craigslist and it shouldn't last past a couple of hours, and having it moved out of your place that quickly seems worth several times the end value of the machine itself.

I have an i5 3570k with Evo Cooler on the motherboard, 7950 and 4 gig ram in a pc just sitting here. I dunno what to do with it, it seems like a waste to have like £450 worth of PC just sitting there. I wish someone local would just buy it for like £300-£400, it would be a hell of a PC for that price

Check out my build! - http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/117203-unofficial-ltt-nzxt-h440-owners-club/?p=3601831

Why do you have that???

Give it to me, better than my rig.

Put it for sale

I have just built a new system. I had it up a week and had no offers as I live in a small town, whenever I see people selling PC's in my area they always have No GPU Inside and some AMD cpu and sell it as "ultra gaming PC". I could just stick it up on ebay I guess but I don't like ebay.
