[proverbs]

i have a g4 cube in excellent condition with 160 gb hd, 256mb ram, dvd drive, and 32mb video. it will come with the cube and power supply.

i was looking to trade for a mac mini or imac. i will add some cash on top of the trade. local so.cal traders are preferred. email me your offers, tilinfinity@gmail.com.

forgot to add, it is 450mhz and has Tiger OS X installed on it.

You need to either include the Tiger disks, or remove it before selling .... or someone will close your thread.

Couple of questions:
Does the cube actually see the full 160Gb? I didn't think cubes had big drive support.
Is there an Airport card?
That video card ... does it have a TV / S-video out?

The cube can see >120GB with special software (I know that OWC sells a package that allows it, not sure if there are any other packages that allow it as well).

For reference, I bought a stock cube on EBay last week for $370 shipped, and that included a enormous, extremely heavy Apple studio display (seriously, I could barely lift the damn thing). Also included were the speakers, keyboard, and mouse.

While your cube has a little extra ram and a bigger HD, those aren't really big-ticket upgrades, unlike, say, a processor or video upgrade.

On a side note, DAMN do I love the cube :). I added 1.5GB of ram, wi-fi and bluetooth, and a 120GB hard drive and that little sucker goes like a champ. It's sexy as hell to boot.

Mmmmm, sexy boot

How much cash are we taking?? PM me

(Edit the os out of your post, no one really cares about that here anyway! Save the loaded software for ebay suckers)

i am willing to add about $300 or so for a mini.

A 450. I tell you, it's an amazing machine considering it came out 7 years ago. It's more that adequate for browsing and light tasks, and I have it hooked up to my 24" monitor. That's astounding that it can push that many pixels at decent speeds. I've got a 17" ACD coming, and I suspect that once it's hooked to that it'll really feel super-snappy.

that is exactly what i was going to use it for if i decided to keep it, internet browsing, ms word/excel, storing photos and itunes.

the only thing im worried about is how leopard will run. and i dont know if i want to do is drop another $200 on 1 gig of ram.:eek:

do u have an upgraded v-card?

[Chimpy]

I'm currently using a stock video card. The only things I added were the RAM, hard drive, airport express, and bluetooth dongle.

The only performance enhancement upgrade I did was the RAM. Like I said in the previous post, the stock card is able to push a 24" dell monitor pretty decently.

I was debating on upping the processor, but I don't want to make the cube noisier. It's silent now, and I want to keep it that way.
