Old 1999 Future Power Computer
Ok, I found this computer next to the dumpster while at work, took it home. Found it works perfectly. Original owner didn't clear personal stuff off it (just family pictures), so I formatted the drive and installed Windows 98SE (was running 98).
It has a SiS620 chipset (with integrated video - 4MB vram)
Intel Celeron 366MHz CPU
64MB of PC100 SDRAM
4GB Maxtor hard drive.

Ooohh, things like this make me all nerdy! Windows 98 SE is one of my favorite versions of Windows (the others being Win2000 and WinXP). But if you want to use this for retro-gaming, you'd best upgrade to a 500 MHz CPU and install an a 32MB or better AGP graphics card. A larger hard drive wouldn't hurt, either--but be forewarned, Windows 9x can't boot from a partition larger than 32 GB, and (as I understand) can't use any hard drive larger than 137 GB (yes, odd size). There are fixes for these things, but I'm not sure what they are.
Oh--you don't mean to say that this thing uses a PowerPC CPU, right? One of the Windows NT versions supported that, but I don't think Win98 did.
