I picked up the Power Mac last week and finally got around to putting everything together. As of today, it's fully up and running with sound and all! (Powered off in the attached pic, though.) The case does get warm to the touch but not alarmingly so.
I upgraded the Mac to OS 8.1... it was still running a very barebones 8 install when I powered it on. I don't think it has been turned on since 2011, the hard disk protested a bit (I took some interesting video of the horrible noises) but once it got going, it has been quiet as a mouse (relatively speaking) ever since! I acquired this one from another forum member a few years ago and it really is one of my favorites.
Current configuration?
Performa 6116CD/60, 40MB RAM, 700MB hard disk, Mac OS 8.1.
PC Card
486DX2/66Mhz, 16MB SIMM (I opted not to use my spare 32MB for now), 40MB disk, MS-DOS 6.21 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
Now, if I could just find appropriate cache for this machine it would be a dream of a system. Still is, really, but I could go for squeezing a little more performance out of it!
