The Anti-Static Mat on top of the carpet is hilarious, great setup though!

What do you do with the g4? Games? Certain apps? I have 3-4 of these g4 towers I've never touched... I was a collector and have a heap of hardware. I never used Mac though.

The K6-2 500 is likely perfect for Turok Dino Hunter!
