Sep 18, 2008 - thx for pointing that out! i thought about that, and since the box is not made of metal, then it does not need to be grounded. I have grounded the psu to the tray btw.

Oct 6, 2008 - A while back I made a video of it playing Urban Terror 4.1, which is a first person shooter with decent graphics and is completely free and open source.My iMac G3's specs:500mhz g3384mb of Ram16mb ati rage 128 pro gpuMost programs in OSX are useable, itunes works great, although a little slow. Expose, dashboard and the other visual effects are great. Safari is pretty quick on it. P2P clients like limewire are very slow though, yet it gets the job done.

As for me I plan to make one using my old socket A athalon XP and im going to remove the video card, cdrom drive after installing because then it will be a lot more power conservative.
