Nice machine, lots of RAM, but the graphics will likely be useless for
NetBSD. You maybe able to get a XVR-100 for cheap and use that instead
(or a macppc branded Radeon and flash it).

If possible, visit for a demo first, so sound/heat level does not suprise
you (don't think it is that bad, but 15krpm disks would make me a bit
nervous).
