waste of time maybe?

[gow75]

i recenlty found a Imac G4 model in the trash, it works though but only issue is that it doesnt boot to the desktop. is this worth my time to fix it as i think it is a 2002 model 17in imac. can the memory be upgraded to make a little faster i will also have to buy a keyboard and mouse and also the Bezel on the monitor is broke as well not sure if this can be a good project to fix or waste of time and money.

I think with any 9 year old desktop there aint really gonna be much point in spending the money to make good when that money isn't gonna get earned back.

thats why it was in the trash ... it is not worth anything ... and certainly not worth putting money into
