@Trag: Yeah, thanks for the reminder. I'll do that after I've finished exorcising the logicboard of any icky gray powdery dust. I've fixed a G4 MDD tower that was howling non-stop, along with an iMac G4 with random lockups by re-applying the thermal paste ^^

@tt: Just general cautiousness... if I were me, I sure as hell wouldn't make off with such a rusty and obsolete machine... Furthermore, the grime on it would've stained my shirt black, thus making myself an easy target for the cops...
