You know I thought about that as I was commenting, and also kind of rolled the dice on someone calling it out. And ancient Apple equipment are built like tanks.
But I remember running Minecraft Beta on an ancient iMac G5, and it was too choppy even back in the day. I can't imagine you being pleasant on one in the modern era.
So I think looking back, I would put a hard limit at only putting machines in service that were manufactured at or after 2012 or so. Get a cute Haswell Mac Mini and call it a day.
If you insisted on vintage Apple hardware older than that, I would recommend getting the system and throwing a Raspberry Pi in there instead. I really wish the G4 lamp Macs would make a come back.
I had a thought before of putting a RPI in there.
