Using OpenCore for booting into macOS
All in a Sun Microsystems case that is in okay shape
This is not for casual macOS users. This machine will require lots of technical tinkering going down into EFI files for booting in order to maintain. Or if that's too daunting, wipe the drive and install Windows or Linux for a cheap ultra-budget gaming or project rig.
Wi-Fi does NOT work on this machine, but a wired connection will work. Wi-Fi requires complicated workarounds that can break apps or system stability.
DVD drive is not connected, is incompatible with the motherboard, and probably incompatible with this OS.
Includes a wall outlet power cable and (if you want it) an old yellow Mac USB keyboard (formerly white), no mouse, no monitor, no display cable.
