I'm a collector of Vintage 68K Macs.

However I do need 1 machine that's more powerfull to browse the web and download StuffIt files and convert these to Bin or Hqx format for use on my 68K Macs. Before I used an Imac G3/400 DV but the flyback went south so I'm thinking to replace it with a Cube or Powermac G5.

What would be the best choise for the long term ?

Given the cube is 13 years old, it probably needs repairs ( capacitor replacement ) like the 68K Macs. Is the Cube hard to recap and can be the PSU be opened to recap as well ? I hope there are some Cube owners here that can give me some advise on these issues.

So, what would be my best bet ?
