So I'm thinking about selling my Cube and using my parents' B&W while I'm home for the summer, then buying something new.

Specs:
450 MHz G4
512 MB PC133 RAM (yep, it runs at 100 MHz in the Cube, but I got 133 in case I ever got a 133 machine).
20 GB hard drive (original)
DVD-ROM
Apple GeForce2 MX video card (32 MB RAM)
works GREAT - no problems. small scratch on the right side that i put there the week i got it (silly me). it had the typical cube power-switch problem that i fixed the typical way - putting a piece of paper over the switch (it's just too sensitive otherwise, i.e. you could blow on it to turn it on/off). this piece of paper is inside the case, so you can't see it or anything.

remember that you can also upgrade this cube to 800 MHz or even 1 GHz thanks to powerlogix (http://www.powerlogix.com/).

i'm asking for $1200, original box and manuals with speakers, mouse, and keyboard all included (of course). make other offers, if you'd like.
private message me or e-mail me at larrytron at aol.com (replace " at " with "@".. just trying to avoid spam).

Did you know that you can send that Cube back to Apple and get the switch fixed for free? Just call them up, they will send you a box and pay for shipping too.

(That's what they did with mine.) They also did a gazillion other things (I had a list somewhere ... most of which I didn't know needed fixing.)
- iMac 3.2Ghz 1TB - MacBook Pro 15" Core i7 2.3Ghz / 256SSD (Work laptop)
- PowerMac G5 - Dual 2.0 Ghz, 3GB, Soundsticks!,
- Lenovo Thinkpad T510 (also a work laptop), Win 7 Enterprise, 8GB, 320GB HDD
