I don't think you want the cube, the outershell is cracked and the inner metal shell is very bent up and broken. The inside of the cube wont even go all the way into the outer shell and usually gets stuck if you try to push it in all the way.
If it works I want it, it will be out of site under a desk with a small monitor and I might mod part of it and make it a dog bed and a computer.
I have no idea if it works or not. It didn't come with a power cord, gpu, hdd, or ram.
Except the Cube's unique power supply which go for the running price of a Cube itself.
Don't assume things. That's how your reputation here got that brown/black stain through it.
Note that the Cube's optical drive is an odd little thing in that it's connector is rotated 180° from standard ATAPI drives. Thus, it'll only work in Cubes and G3 iMacs.
What I would do:
I suggest that, if you can, take apart the cube and sell the parts to make the most profit. But if you haven't got the time or you can't be bothered you should just sell it as it is, I'm sure someone will buy it. As for the two G4s, I would just keep the best one and sell the other one.

A power supply of the time (IE, the one inside the Sawtooth G4) was already half the size of a Cube...
PS: The image of that Cube hurts... :S

very nice, the dual 800mhz was a huge deal back then
it was a top of the line model that only universities and true pro users bought
and now 4 year olds use it for getting started on the internet
