I think the Windtunnel is one of those machines that was fast for its
time (at least as Macs go), but has LONG since been surpassed so greatly
with less power consumption that it doesn't really make sense to run one
any more unless you specifically want to run a PowerPC Mac.  And even
then, it takes 30 seconds on Google to find a dual G5 for about $250, so
there's little practical reason to run a G4 instead of a far more
powerful G5.
