I went for the PowerMac G4 MDD for #MARCHintosh running Sorbet Leopard (with some Adélie Linux in another partition).

I constantly had >68'C [154'F] when under 100% CPU load for more than an hour. I replaced all fans with Noctua but had to add one additional 92mm fan on top of the 120mm and 2 x 60mm behind the CPU heat sink to get everything under control.
