Dreaming of macs, bud, you need to get out more
I'm a Cube (with the CD-R) owner and it's the best Mac that I've owned and I've owned a lot of them. I probably won't upgrade un…
It's a great concept (I love mine) but pricing was a problem, especially in the face of a general downturn in personal computer sales. Some were concerned about its adaptibility, a…

Additionally, the Cube received a poor rap for the so-called mould lines and random startups and shutdowns. Did these flaws exist? Yes, especially in some early models - serious ea…

If you don't need PCI cards and such, and can live with the fact that Apple's not making parts any more, by all means buy one.

Now how about a dual processor upgrade with one of those new Apollo 7455 G4s that were released this week? Or even the new mobile 7445 G4s that were announced by Motorola...you ha…

The Cube is great.
And with it's limited availibility nowadays, there's no way I'll trade it in for something new - I'll keep it and hope to find some neat upgrade solution.

All my clients have been happy with their Cubes, but here's something to warm the hearts of you Cube lovers:

No, it isn't great. Defend your statement; legitimise it as I did.

No sense in trying to convince Mr Superiority (cypher13) of any of the Cubes redeeming virtues. He is clueless as to the true purpose of the Cube. As one of the previous posts …
Was there anything inherently wrong with the Cube design?
I think that if you took the current iMac specs and prices and put it in the Cube design it would sell bigger than the ne…

People are supposedly clamoring for it, as they were then - if so, why did the machine die?
Was it not... the price? *gasp*
My original argument once again.
I didn't deny that t…
The cube was, and still is, a great little machine. In fact, I just bought one (new!) yesterday.

I waited for the first round of bugfixes (power switch) and price drops before ordering a Cube, and when I bought mine, it was the same price as a comperably equipped tower. Being …
Whatever the issues, there is no doubt in my mind that the Cube + 15"LCD is the most gorgeous computer set-up I have ever seen. I was willing to buy one based on aesthetics alone.
Well, Phaedon, you�ve now gotten a glimpse of Cube history, and also a dose of The Cube Troll, aka Cipher 13. You�ll notice his post count is &gt;10000 and his status is Clini…
