Trying to hook an iMac to an old silver tower

[almundis]

Hey guys

I was recently given one of the old mac silver towers from about 5/6 years ago (OSX 10.4 i think) but I'm currently using a much newer iMac. However I was wondering if there was some way i could wipe the tower clean and somehow hook it up to the iMac and give the iMac access to its hardware? I know this can be done with things such as rendering software so that multiple frames can be produced simultaniously. Or alternately is there a way that I canwipe the tower clean and load on a windows OS but have them share the iMac as a screen?

Is it a pre-Intel unit? If so, you might try re-posting it in the Power PC section for some help.

Pre-Intel won't run windows..
