Old G4 non-cube

Just found this old G4 Power Mac. No idea on specs, don't know if it still works and it's heavy af.

Is this thing worth anything today? What's the latest Mac OS it would support?
Any other creative uses or suggestions?
 
That's not a Cube. The G4 Cube was, well, a cube. That's an early PowerMac G4. Since I don't seen an Apple Display Connector, this is probably a "Sawtooth" model from 1999 or 2000. It would have a 350-500MHZ G4 CPU and come with 128MB or 256MB of PC100 RAM. The last version of OS X it officially supports is 10.4 Tiger, although, if the RAM were upgraded (it supports a maximum of 2GB), a hacked install of 10.5 Leopard would work. It's not really worth much of anything at this point and would be effectively unusable for modern computing tasks.

Heh. Someone offered to give me one for free last month but I declined. It's basically unusable as mentioned.

BTW, this is the Cube:

Lol, yep, somehow did not register this is not a 'cube'!

Those specs sound horrifying in today's age... I would gut it and keep the case but I don't even know what I'd do with it!

If only I had another one...
