Definitely - replace that battery! That's a must.

Anything else? Well a recapping will be needed eventually, but for now it works and that's a plus! Maybe an upgrade later on to a full '040.

I have the PowerPC version of that machine, and it needs a system clean up. That uses an IDE Drive? That would be easy to put in an IDE-SSD or CF/IDE-SSD, if you had the System CD to format it and install a system on it. It would be less of a strain on the PSU to make that move and speed things up on the Disk I/O side; HD's can take up to 5watts of power while an SSD can take .2 watts.
