Well, the most awesome thing you can probably do on it is use it to speed up everyday stuff on your Amiga. There quite some PPC builds of everyday tools (archivers, mp3, etc) that you can install on your system and use in place of the "regular" 68K tools.

That should make your system faster in overall daily use.

Other than that, sell it while it still works and buy a nice laptop or iPad for the amount you sell it for ;-)

That thought accompanies every piece of valuable Amiga hardware I've had, and generally wins.


Right, but the value of the CS PPC is insane compared to the prices you pay for any other Amiga related item.

For a 'normal' going price of a CSPPC you can get an A4000D in nice condition, decent 68040 accelerator, RTG card, Indivision AGA and maybe a Deneb... that does not justify the CS PPC for me in any way (except for OS4 - for which I don't care).
