Question For Cube Owners
Go Cube!! I think the Cube is THE most beautiful computer in the world. Sad that Apple discontiued it..
My uncle has a cube and it is quite an unbelievable computer. I would research the design of the cube first and take measurements to see that your parts will fit inside.

im the second!
my friend bought a cube of ebay, he says 450mhz is still damn good on that mac
well, i'd say check out one of those websites that dissassembled it, so you can use that info in reverse.
oh, and i say put a Mini ITX board in it instead fo the apple business.
ah, and if there's somewhere you can stick a small quiet fan, you should DO IT cuz i hear it's heatsink isn't all that good.
Hi,
I'm a bit confused here by the preceding posts.
Are you planning on building an actual G4 Cube? If so, I would suggest just buying one from an online action.
Or are you planning on building an x86 based PC in a Mac Cube case? Now that I would find very interesting!
All the best,
Grusic
hehe No No A real Apple System G4 Cube...... oh and By the way
Taha apple Canada still sells them here is the link.....
Someone is actually working on a mini ITX based G4 cube computer at the mini ITX custom computers site.

I'm pretty sure that's finished now. -I remember reading about it sometime last year in November.
The Mini-itx case in a model car is pretty impressive. 
-Now that's a case mod! 
Cheers
I used to have the cube but it kept on going bonkers on me and finally the whole thing couldn't be repaired and the replacement board was too expensive so it's just sitting in my storage room now. The techs told me that the most common problem with the cube was overheating because it had no space for a fan. That was why Apple discontinued it.
If you still intend to use the cube, make sure you are in an airconditioned area and keep a powerful fan pointed at the air vents.
good luck.

I would imagine that it stay cool enough in Ca. that over heating may not be that much of a problem.

I wonder how hard it would be to fit a PC in a case like that...
I went to the canadian store and couldn't find the cube actually in the store, just on its own page.
