Hi

Some time ago i bought a cube. And i want to max out it's capabilities. Adding RAM and airport happens in no time. But then i wanted to tweak further.

Graphics

After doing lots of research on the graphics card I noticed upgrading with Apple parts only wouldn't help its performance a lot. So I bought the Ati Radeon 7500 AGP. Installing it was rather easy and performance boosted. I originally installed it without extra cooling and without brackets (or adjusting the fence).

I'm still reading further on the subject and recently i started panicing. There are some threads on cubeowner.com about heat issues. To be able to sleep without worries I bought the spirica heatsink and I just finished installing it.

The threads on cubeowner are still worrying me, some speak of heat issues with the Cube VRM card which would be a critical card... Do I need extra cooling for that card? Do I need to relocate it? These all look like complicating procedures :-/

DVD

My cube has a dvd drive but it doesn't eject the DVD's properly, I guess i need a new DVD drive (preferably a Superdrive unit). I noticed I could buy some Pioneer drive, but then again threads say it doesn't fit the Cube brackets, and you need to buy extra brackets. And wow those brackets are expensive :O

Even more, it doesn't seem to easy to connect it to the cube, could someone clarify this for me?

Thanks!
