iMac - Just found an iMac G4...
So one of my neighbors just put a iMac G4 out with a sign on it saying "good for parts". I was curious if their are any good hacks/modes I can do with it?
The ram was still attached same with the logic board. Airport was pulled and the optical drive is in bad shape. Always wanted one of these, I have built up my Gigabit Ethernet and am on the tall end of upgrading that machine. It would be awesome for this to be a new project.

not many parts that you can salvage from an iMac.
You could use it, but you aren't going to be able to hack it much unless you are good with a soldering iron, and then it's still dicey.
