    Aside from the first-gen Power Macs, which used NuBus, Power Macs generally had PCI slots.

    The guy with a Power Mac G4 in the article definitely has PCI slots.

    Can probably just put an old video card in the thing.

    googles

    Yeah.

    Alternately, you could go with an older, slower, possibly cheaper PCI video card as well. You could use a PCI video in combination with the AGP card. Not sure if the AGP card is missing, if you can run with a PCI video only.

    ATI made a couple of PCI Radeon cards for Mac, 7000 and 9200, I think, with VGA & DVI outputs. Might be hard to find these days.

      I had a radeon 7000 PCI card back in the day, it was a steaming pile.
