Suggestions for a Mac G4 Cube?

eBay it.  Personlly, I think the Cubes are about useless...  But there's a whole group of Mac addicts who worship the stupid things for some reason.  Unload it to one of them and then use the profits to buy something you'd get more use out of.  :-)

eh? Are you mad?

Are you?  

The thing has no PCI slots, practically no air circulation, requires those costly custom (and easy to jam - especially with copy-protected music CDs!) slot-load CD/DVD drives, an underwhelming power supply, a nifty 'touch-on' power switch that works when it feels like it, and room enough for 1 whole internal hard drive.  Plus it's too big and oddly shaped to really look right on a small desk, and it's too small and inconvenient to put on the floor.  

I like most Macs well enough, but if someone handed me a Cube the first thing I'd do is unload it to one of the fans of the thing.  I might turn back around and buy one of those new rumored cheap Pizza-Box styled Macs, though.  (provided it addressed the issues above)  :lol:

Well it seems that G4 Cubes are still getting $500+ on eBay, possibly more. I'd just sell it, get the money, and get one of those rumoured sub-$500 iMacs that will be way better specced!

That was my point... unload it.  People out there are willing to pay more than it's worth.  Of course, now they're going to buy the new cheap MiniMac.  (Which, IMHO the only problem it addressed from the G4 cube's run was the price.)
