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. While figuring out how to configure my own digital hub, (mainly for keeping track …

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 >10000 and his status is Clini…

*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 …

ok, i wondering if anyone with a g4 sawtooth is having any trouble running word98. i have a 450 MHz g4 with 128MB ram, virtual mem off. now while running word i get error just doin…

No, I'm running Word 98 on the same system that you apparently have (450 sawtooth/ 128 RAM), and I haven't had any unusual problems with it. I'm running OS 8.6, as it was when it …

actually i'm running os9 with my g4. so that means it has something to do with os9 and word98. i'll try something. thanks.

Have you checked the available patches? Check out the Microsoft "Mactopia" pages, because I *think* that there was a note about Office 98 and OS 9, and there is a patch to fix kno…

thanks i had office98 updated a while ago but i had vir mem on because i couldn't afford any errors like that. but now that i have checked i think the patch really did solve the pr…

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
