Mac Mini G4 - what could I use it for?

[Agent0range]

Hi guys,

I've recently come across a Mac mini from a friend. It's one of the old PowerPC models with the 1.25Ghz processor and I'm really struggling to think of a use for it. It doesn't seem to be too slow tbf considering the spec and age. I was thinking of maybe taking out the HDD and whacking a stonking 2TB drive in there for a nice low powered media server possibly, although reading about the G4 model it sounds like its just ATA and not SATA.

Any ideas?

You said it yourself a media server would be good although not sure how good OSX is for handling that sort of stuff?

Media Server or just a client to run Bit Torrent on would be my suggestion.
