My mom picked up a G4 powermac for $3 at a thrift store and I couldn't get it to start up (most likely psu) so I took all the parts out and now just have the case. Im wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to do with it. I don't really want to build a computer in it because if I was going to do something like that I would put it in my G4 cube. Any ideas? Cheap or free is good ;)

Anyway, you could send it to me, I have g4 cube and iMac g4, I'm currently missing powermac g4.

Or you could try and fix it.

You could make the side clear and turn it to a fish tank.

I think you should give it to me tho, then my desktop g4 collection would be completed
