Give it back Tyrone

> But his hand is white

Install gentoo

(seriously, that's the only way it'll be usable)

Hold open a door.

>implying you need to be black to be a thieving nigger

At least you can use G5s as space heaters.

Install as many GbE NIC as it will fit and use it as a glorified router. There isn't much else you can do with it.

The only 'Tyrone' I've ever actually met was a Swedish guy in Minnesota.

the G4s get just as hot

Install TenFourFox and use it as a shitpost machine.
floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Boot up OS9 and play old games from
macintoshgarden.org/

That is a later model, it might sell for maybe $200 if its a dual processor version.

Install BSD

Install Mac OS X Tiger and set up Classic then dual-boot with OpenBSD.

Compute things

OP here

kekd

Throw everything inside the PowerMac G4 into the trash and mod the case into a PC case.

You are in possession of the second best computer case to have graced this Earth (the first being the PowerMac G5 case - pic related)

The guy who photographed was a spic.

White hand reporting: I installed tenfourfox and am shitposting as we speak.

Where do i get screenfetch and anime wallpapers?

>killing usable hardware to make a gayming pc
shame

You're satan.

screenfetch does not work on Tiger. It sort of works on Leopard but not really.
alpha.wallhaven.cc
Install Tigerbrew for some cli things too.

Install tigerbrew and use that to get screenfetch

wow
stop posting
anytime

this

shit can break your neck

They are $30 a pop, buy two, keep one for "historical purposes".

are
you
upset

Is the PSU resting on the motherboard?

White hand reporting again. Going to reinstall Tiger because i don't have the user information. I swear I'm not a thieving nigger I got it from a thrift store. Spic will continue reporting from his computer.

Are you mentally retarded or just a fucking idiot?

No, screwed behind the case and velcro'ed on top, there's a 5 mm gap.

just remove a single file to run the setup tool

>screenfetch does not work on Tiger

spic reporting in. we reset the password using the shell applesetup method

It doesnt here and there is a bug report about it where the dev basically says lel update ur os.

White Hand reporting:
I have complete control over the system so im getting tigerbrew now.

Thanks for the help. Are there any torrent programs that will run on this?

>darwin
that's probably the problem.

spotted the racist

What?

Then how does one fix such problem?

install actual mac os instead of just darwin
screenfetch ran just fine on my old 2006 macbook pro running 10.4

>install actual mac os
that makes no fucking sense user. Darwin is part of OSX.

OSX always said Welcome to Darwin and reported Darwin on screenfetch.

It didn't in 10.4
It didn't in 10.6
It didn't in 10.7
and it hasn't in 10.9-10.12
>part
meaning not all
It's still missing a lot of things.

White hand reporting:
Giving me brew command not found errors after tigerbrew successfully installed.

Otherwise, what are some fun games and stuff I can get on this machine? As well as some useful programs, I want this to be useful as long as it can.

That is Mac OS X.

It does sort of make sense, Darwin can be run on its own. That's what he thinks you (or whoever's having issues with screenfetch on Tiger) is doing.

It most definitely has the welcome message in 10.4.

Show us About This Mac if screenfetch won't work, you might even be able to run Doom 3.

...

>dual 1.25GHz G4s
Damn, iirc that's the second highest end stock configuration there is

White hand:

The Highest is Dual 1.74, you're right. I'm proud of it, kind of rare especially for my not-so-great thrift store. It also has the highest ram config and I only paid $50 for really good physical appearance barring the fucking sharpie the niggers who run the store put all over it.

take some isopropyl to it

I will eventually when I'm not being a lazy faggot.
Will Doom 3 actually play on this thing?

>Will Doom 3 actually play on this thing?
Depends on the graphics card.

Radeon 9000 Pro

It also has a Rage XL something but the monitor isn't plugged into that.

no

g5 cases are garbage you hipster fagget

i have a dual 1.42 :)

wrong, the highest was dual 1.42.. there were some aftermarket cpu upgrades that were faster, but the fastest stock dual g4 was 1.42

Then yes, it will run on a Radeon 9k.

Ok.

Fuck yeah.

Pretty sure Sims 2 works on PowerPC Mac OS X too

Holy shit I'm getting tons of games.

Spic says Unreal 2004 will run too and there are still servers for it.

Halo 1 runs on Mac and has more vehicles, maps, and a decent mod community

lol this

I don't even think debian is putting out power builds anymore

fagget

cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.6.0/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-8.6.0-powerpc-netinst.iso

Yeah, we still put out Debian builds. We even have a Ports repo filled with packages like mpv that have been ported to PowerPC.

Lots of modern software can be used on the PowerPCs, you can even read modern bloated news websites if you use one of those scraper websites (that are lightweight)

Lightweight computing is best computing.

anything ib debian repos use the g4s altivec?

What?

There is still software that uses AltiVec. iirc ffmpeg does

kill your self you fucking tech illiterate nigger

do you know what altivec is?

not using altivec is like x86 not using sse or mmx

You can act like a douchebag with it.

fuck, this gave me some feelings right now, I think someone I know had one and I always saw it and tought it was really cool, then he got the alimunium one, I think the next model maybe, and god, I'll get one of those and mod it to fit something there.

>t. mactoddler

Reminder that the G4 case won't fit an ATX-sized board, only micro-ATX.

ppc > x86

plastic > aluminum

I'm talking about the next one, which I think it's a bit bigger. I made some research and yes, it's the next model, the G5. There are some at 40€ in my country, but I don't know if the guy will send me one.

Dont buy a working one and gut it user. There are people who daily drive these shits still and they all get very made when hipster fags do that.

The PowerMac G5 is literally the staple of case design.
As you wouldn't want Mona Lisa painted with spray paint, you don't want a piece a fourniture made of plastic.

>modding a case is being a hipster
>gutting a worthless computer makes people mad

Are you autistic?

only hipsters and tech illiterates think the g5 is a good case. its flimsy, has only 2 hard drive bays for such a massive case, has a gay giant plastic thing in it, and its cramped to work in

the g4 case is better in every way

enjoy your x86 botnets, fagget

I'd use the shit inside in a way, for sure, maybe to build a shitty PC for my mother, I don't know, maybe for a PC for the TV too, but I think an Intel stick is more powerful.

Quality posts.
You're not even making sense. I'm obviously talking about its appearance and you bring up drive bays. What do they have to do with its design?
How does the accessibility to computer parts has to do with its design?

Since you bring up x86, you understand that I was also talking about modding the case.

So how the fuck what is inside the damn computer has to do with anything when you end up with a fucking empty computer case.

>flimsy
Now I'm 100% sure you never got anywhere a G5 (nor a G4)

kys

It's honestly basically garbage at this point, anything you can do on it you can do better on $150 Thinkpad, even emulate OS9 shit.

Save the electricity bill and dump it or get another and a piece of glass and use it as some coffee table

hahahah oh wow get a load of this person !

i bet youre either female or a homosexual male.

you on the left

/thread

>G5
>usable
they weren't even impressive speed-wise at the time, they are as loud and hot as ever, though

Install Ubuntu-MATE

You can run MorphOS.

...

a raspberry pi can do more than a g4 ppc mac these days

They stopped supporting it. That is the last version for ppc on debian

>gayming pc
>no graphics card
huh

They're definitely still usable. I've got one as a server and the only reason it's not my main desktop is because Opera doesn't support PowerPC

>macshit
>usable
good joke

But that's blatantly false

>computer
>deemed usable or unusable solely based on the logo on the chassis
epik meme

I'm in favour of using vintage hardware ,My intel Mac Pro is from 2006 and i use it every day and will continue using it for more years to come.

....random disposable razor,givin ya legs a once over user? or gettin rid of the paki tache?

>fruity toddler toys are computers
epik maymay

Install PPC Creative Suite 2 for free from Adobe's site

Pretty it up and sell it to some apple fanboy. But the G4 is quite aesthetic though.
