Well my baby arrived, I won an ebay auction on a pristine single owner G4 Cube. I have OS9 on there right now, I've been hankering to return back to the classic OS for a little while and since my MacPro is my production machine, having the cube on the desk to play with is awesome.

Cube is cool. Not so sure about OS 9 though.

Why not upgrade to dual 1.7GHZ G4s, 1.5GB of RAM and run OS X? Be one of the fastest OS9 machines out there, and certainly the quietest.

Its great, I'll probably throw on OSX and have dual boot at some point but for now just toying with OS9 is fun.

I really lucked out because it is probably one of the nicest cubes I've seen in a long time, the original owner took good care of it.

I've been seeing a lot of computer resellers are auctioning cubes and you really have no idea what your getting. They themselves lay no claims and a lot of times, they onll turn it on just to see if it powers up.
