Can I install Mac OS on it?  X?  What can I do with it?

HOW THE FUCK DO I GET IT OPEN?

That should give you instructions on how to open it.  Don't be afraid to break the panels while prying them off.

As far as I know, there are no G3/G4 upgrades for a 6400.  If there were though, you could possibly get it running with a little work.  Some 3rd party utility works but I don't know the name.

I probably have a SCSI HD or two I can send ya if you need more drive space.  Maybe even RAM, depending on what that model takes.

I don't spose you have any 5-volt FPM. :)

Does that take DIMMs or SIMMs?  I'm guessing SIMMs.

Get a big stick and beat the shit out of it, as a punishment for being shit.

Ugh.  That was uncharacteristically unpoetic of me.  That repetition of the word "shit" is most unsatisfactory.

Get a big stick and beat the everliving fuck out of it, as a punishment for being earth-shatteringly shit.

That's better.

DIMM actually.

A machine that old that took only DIMMs?  And 5V ones at that?  No wonder RAM for Macs was always so expensive.  

Sorry, no 5V DIMMs here.  Only normal ones.
