So While taking out the trash, a complete old iMac sitting outside on the ground, along with a 18" flat screen monitor, 2 CD/RW drives (1 being a light scribe) a busted up Toshiba Laptop that I'll part out and the power supply for that, 2 mother boards both ATX I think one has a T462 socket and he other has a 939 socket with a 2.2Ghz single core processor still on it. I also found a few CPU heat sinks and fans.
So short of some power supplies and some ram, I could make a pretty sick home router with a 2.2 ghz processor, lol.... joking
Anyway back to the iMac..
While I am not huge fan of Mac products I think I can polish this thing up and do something better then tossing it in the trash. The problem is with it it has iOS of 10.4 which a lot of things don't support, and to get the upgrade is like $30 from the mac store.
So, I had a few options was thinking about of what to do with it. Let me try posting a poll..
Hmm Can't find the poll button..
Anyway, here is what I was thinking..
Option 1.
Leave it as is, sell it cheap...
Option 2.
Polish it up and put Ubuntu on it, free upgrades!
Option 3.
Send it to "Is it a good idea to microwave this?" Guys
If anyone has any idea what good the other stuff could be used for let me know :)
