I was just wondering if anyone could come up with what I could do with my old G4 tower? It still runs fairly well, 500MHz Single G4, 640 RAM, DVD-R, Zip Drive. Just a standard G4. So all suggestions on what can be done with this are more than welcome, also if anyone has an idea of its value? ~Thanks

I would say turn it into a media server for music, movies & photos.

So is there a better way of doing that than just adding music to iTunes and creating a shared library?
