You can throw it away.

Put something like an Intel NUC into it and fine a way to hook it up to the display.

Install Tiger and OS 9.2.2, download some shit off the Macintosh Garden and torrent sites, enjoy a non-x86 computer that can do computer stuff.

Niche as shit but I use a dual 1 GHz G4 quicksilver mostly to run this shitbox emulator because it's fucking great:

Depending on what version you have, it will probably be a shit web surfer if it's running PC133 RAM, a DDR model might be somewhat useful for that kind of use case though. At the very least it makes an aesthetic clock/terminal/email-checker kiosk box.

First of all, that woman in that video is so utterly disgusting, it nearly made my dick fall off. I wonder why fat bitches always dig purple so much, in my eyes the fat people look even more retarded that way.
Second of all: I wonder why Apple users are always too dumb for glue guns. I have met quite a few diy-people that were Mac users and none of them had a glue gun.

Fucking gay imbeciles.

Linux barely even works on these pieces of shit. You can try installing debian wheezy and use software renderer, I never managed to get jessie to boot X, nor ubuntu

ONly the Imac g3 has the handle. The eMac really should have one though because its 50 lbs.

I can barely build CDE in a reasonable time frame on a Core 2 Duo, I can't imagine what Gentoo would be like on one of those, especially if it's an early model.

Is it impossible to pirate or something?

>>55638756
Every once in a while I look, but I haven't had much luck. I think it's too niche of a product for anyone to bother cracking/releasing. There's no glory in it. If somebody knows of something I've overlooked, I'd love to hear about it.

Use it. You could use that thing as a desktop. I keep mine at the side of my bed for watching TV shows and movies. Tiger, Leopard, and OpenBSD are the best OS choices.

Why? In less than two months you'll be back in middle school and we won't have to deal with each other anymore. I'll just wait that out, unless you want to off yourself instead, by all means feel free to.

Those things can handle it? Even the 1.42 GHz model feels like it would be lacking for anything above 720p.

>>55640218
I've got the 1.42GHz model, I've never used it for anything over 720p

Not bad. I've been thinking of picking one up lately, I have a fondness for fleet shitboxes.

Tbh if we all stopped replying to this faggot he would go away or at least be forced get some actual banter

>>55640337
Wouldn't expect miracles in quality, but I think you probably could. Don't know for certain though, never tried much beyond webms on my PPC shit where even my dual-1GHz box didn't really like anything >480p in-browser.
