So, about a month ago, I got a PowerMac G5 from my recycling center, it was just sitting there on a pile of Compaq Deskpros, and it was in the rain, so I tried to see if it was good.
It was. It had no hard drive, but luckily I had an 80 GB hard drive laying around and I put it in, after hours of stupidity, not realizing my monitor was on the wrong signal, it worked. I installed Mac OS X 10.5.8 (final version of Mac OS X any PowerPC based Mac can support), and downloaded a game called Cube 2 Sauerbraten to see what it can do, the game ran fine, and then I went ahead and installed TenFourFox (a Firefox based browser for Mac OS X 10.3-10.5) and now I have a somewhat useful Mac! It ran YouTube fine, The last PPC version of iTunes ran fine, it seemed like a pretty good computer!
Until now. That was basically all I can do on it, I can't even play audio without external speakers because the internal ones, well, I don't even know. So, I ask you guys, what should I do with it? I honestly have no idea what to do with it.

I am sorta in the same boat...
I have a G5 lying around and nothing to do with it...

That's why I was curious if you were able to get some emulation going on it.
