No, it isn't great. Defend your statement; legitimise it as I did.
No, it doesn't mean that - those wintel machine…
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…

Ok, when I bought my Cube (for about $1200), the only cheaper Mac was the iMac, which was certainly not as fast. O…

Am I talking about the price before they EOL'd it? No. The price when it came out; the price that influenced first …
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 &gt;10000 and his status is Clini…
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 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 …
Which configuration is best? The fastest; Sawtooth. But you can always build your own at the Apple Store. If done right you can get a great machine for a good price. Try playing …
J-DOG; thats a pretty subjective question, but it really depends on what you want the system for....If you are into graphic design, desktop publishing, illustrating and/or serious …
Now that all configs run on the same boards, the answer to your question depends on your needs.
Personally, I thin kyou should get the fastest machine you can afford.
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 …
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…
