I have a Cube-450 CDRW that I'd like to keep for a while. Is there anyplace I can send it to and have them upgrade the processor and video card in one fell swoop? I'm not keen on doing the processor upgrade myself.

Thanks!

The only place I can think of that MIGHT do this sort of work is mac-res-q -- they do repair work and might do installation. The video card is tricky. You can find them on eBay and once in a while a reseller will have some in stock. They are a bit shorter than the standard cards and are not being manufactured any more. cubeowner.com is a good place to monitor for Cube parts, they recently posted a note about availability of video cards at a reseller (check the "Buy stuff" section).

Another option would be to find a local Mac reseller and see if they would do an installation. Sonnet recommends professional installation for their CPU upgrade so there must be people out there doing them.
