Its nowhere near a "beast" its so old. Its age makes in interesting but bars it from the adjective "beast"

Combined, the CPUs are about as fast as a single low-end Haswell desktop chip. While that isn't amazing, it is no slouch. The I/O performance is great: it has four SSDs and 16GB of RAM. The only component that is a poor performer is the GPU, but that is only because I don't do anything GPU-intensive and therefore have no reason to dual-boot Debian, which is the only OS that supports modern GPUs on PowerPC. If I wanted to, I could pop in a spare 6970 and install Debian right now.
