So I was at a surplus auction.. I bought a G4 cube 450mhz no ram no hard drive for 20 bones.. Got it all back together and up and running.. I got a Studio Display LCD for 100 bucks for it as well.. All in all it turned out to be a G4 Cube 450mhz 120GBHD/768MB RAM. So who all owns one.. post pics if you got them..
I have one. Sits on a shelf looknig pretty. No way in hell im getting rid of it though. It looks so hot.
I voted "secondary machine," but actually it's the fifth machine in our household, behind my iMac, my wife's PowerBook, my daughter's mini, and my iBook. But it's my son's primary computer!
So far I'm the only one to admit to using a Cube as my primary desktop Mac. This is probably its last year in that role, but it has served me very well, especially since the upgrades.
Mine runs my scanner and A2 printer, as the Epson PPC drivers are much better, so I'd say it shares primary duties with my 24" iMac.
Never had one, but it'd be fun to have one. The discontinued mac I want the most, though, is an iMac G4.
I just bought a 450MHz Cube off of eBay the other day, either going to fix it up and sell it or keep it (which is tempting to do).
How could you not want a cube.. its so sexy with its 15" apple studio display next to it.. one of the best machines in the house.. It goes MacMini Intel Cube eMac G4 iMac DV 400 Graphite-NetBoot Server/Web Server Giga E G4- Skype Box Compaq Presario V2000 Laptop running OS X 10.4.8
LOL good price but not as good as my 20 dollar one.. I spent 100 dollars on my 15" ADC display for it.. quite good deal
My Cube isn't hooked up right now, but I occasionally use it to watch movies. I put a 2.5" Travelstar hard drive in there a while back, and you can not hear any noise coming from the Cube at all unless you have your ear right up against it. I'd love to use it as a media center, but discs get stuck in the vertical slot-loading DVD drive, and I've been too busy (and lazy) to fix it.
