On the 25th anniversary of Macintosh, I found a PowerMac G3 All-in-One on the curb. It's in the trunk of my car even now. Is it worth keeping? All the cables, etc., were included with it...
If it works, toss Yellow Dog Linux on it and... I dunno, you can use it as a router, low budget web server, there's so many possibilities. The first enterprise web systems I developed were hosted on Mac G3s under Mac OS 7.x or something. The experience pretty horrible, but that was due to OS and database backend choices rather than hardware. In absolute sense, they were pretty capable systems. By current standards, well, we're spoiled nowadays aren't we. Not sure about the All in one models though.
