If I have a Mac-Edition GEForce 2 MX, can I transplant the faceplate off the stock Cube Rage 128 onto this card and have everything fit and work correctly?
Got a tip for us?

GEForce 2 MX in Cube

A base fan in the Cube doesn't really move air around the video card part of the machine. Mostly the hard drive and CPU heatsink. People have run a non-Cube GeForce 2 in Cubes before without problems, but they do run hot. If you don't have a base fan installed, you should install one. Even in a stock Cube.
I don't have my Cube in hand yet, but the base fan is one of the first things I'm planning on doing.
I have a box of dead video cards, some of which have heatsink fans built in. I might see if I can come up with some sort of fan and heatsink arrangement that will fit the GeForce and work within the confines of the Cube core....assuming I can get it to help, I'd think that would solve the heat issues.
