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 …

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.
