*bump* My rehash of the month

when the processing power of the cube and the tower (sold in the same period) are obsolete, in the end the cube is smaller and quieter (& more attractive) to use as a mp3 serve…

Cipher, I respect your opinion, and I know you are a damn smart guy, so dont take it personal. In a case of Cube, price and performance criteria do not apply as usually, though the…

I like the cube. Too bad Apple released it overpriced .

i managed to find my "new" 450/cd-r/20gig/128mb cube on ebay. i have since added a 15 inch apple lcd, 512mb of ram, and an 80gig seagate baraccuda IV hard drive. i bought it becaus…

I am a none Mac user so I want attempt to address the technical issues. But I am something of a Mac fan all the same and I watched the rise and fall of the cube. I read a lot of …

The CompUSA up the road from me has two 450mhz cubes still. I want a cube, but they're still asking $1399 for them, and I've seen em much cheaper online. I also want the dvd mode…

I've seen them go for around $900 on eBay (450Mhz / DVD). Not much of a performance diff between 450Mhz and 500Mhz though. A more noticeable boost will be from the graphics card …

Hi, I know this has been covered in the past. My G4 (466 digital audio with 640 MB Ram and two hd) has a constant subtle noise which sounds like the sound an hard drive does when…

Anyone ? Please ... Alessandro

I had a problem where a "buzz" sound would appear at regular intervals; not sure if it's the same thing you're getting. My problem came from the mass of wires coming down verticall…

Yeah, sounds like some sort of vibration whine to me

Does your graphics card have a fan on it? Mine does and it makes just the sort of cyclical noise that you mention. You can open the machine while it's running and put your finger …

An iBook that has been working flawlessly for 11 months, suddenly won't turn on tonight. The power button gets no reaction whatsoever. I assumed the battery must have run down and …

The answer to this problem with the iBook of one of my students was provided by 'ever-ready Bugs'--it was a PowerManager which needed to be reset and exact instructions are given a…

I was just reading a post in the macaddict forums about someone who accidentally dropped their iBook and damaged it. I just want to say that it's really a good idea to insure your …

Is there a deductible? Or some other hidden fee when you need to make a claim.

Usually there's a $250 deductable with State Farm's renters insurance policies. I'm not sure whether you can pay higher premiums to avoid that deducatable or not.

Most standard polucies specifically exclude breakage of fragile items although coverage can be added for named items usually at very sifnificant additional premium. I would check t…

This is interesting. I went to state farm and ended up getting what they call the Inland Marine Policy for a $50 premium for $2,225 worth of coverage (and $100 deductible). It co…

what the inland marine policy is..is for business. If you dont have a business then you wouldnt need this policy. I have FULL COVERAGE including theft, breakage, mechanical failure…

You know, I spoke to a State Farm representative about insuring my laptop and the cost was $1.00 per $100 of insured value. Therefore, a $3500 powerbook would cost $35 to insure, …
