Kind of nooby with soldering, but I've ordered some stuff to help me out (beter soldering station, ESR meter, etc.). I also have a dead iMac Indigo, which I'll attempt a recap on. Fun stuff, although I fear all G3s have died by then. Heck, with Connectix Virtual Game Station, you can PlayStation games! When I move into a place of my own (which won't happen any time soon, I'm only 17 as of right now, with no plans to move out yet), I want to get a nice sturdy round table, that I'll load up wit iMac G3s hooked up in a LAN connection, allowing me to host retro LAN parties or just have people play retro games on them. You can play Mac games from that era, but also emulators for old game consoles. I also own a semi-functional iMac G3 Bondi (the screen has a bit of a fitzy image, every now and then the image kind of jumps, I fear it's a dying flyback transformer), which is meant for retro gaming. It's a timeless design, and when I tell people that it was made in '03 (and that the design is from '02), they are all amazed by that. The fact that the screen is on an arm, like my microphone, just fits so well in the "studio" set up of my desk. I'll also be using it, doing my livestream shows with a bunch of my online friends, again to play music. It can easily stream FLAC over the network without an issue, and it can be hooked up to my HiFi set. I just got my iMac G4 in today, the 15" model with a 1GHz CPU and 2GB of RAM, and I specifically bought it as a music player.
