Are their devices available so I can use regular computer speakers with the G4 Cube? A USB to minijack adapter or the likes? Please include links if available. Thanks!

Well you could get something like the Imic

Or if you dont mind hiding the speakers you could just use the headphone jack thats on the pro speakers amp.

Just to be clear, you can't use the Apple Pro Speakers on the Cube, I think you mean the headphone minijack that is already on the Cube speakers amp. It works much better than my iMic (which is sort of a pain to manage). I don't usually use any other speakers (like minijack style computer speakers) but I have messed around with it.

I would recommend using the headphone jack that is on the Cube speakers' amp over an iMic. If you also need sound in, then the iMic is worth the $35.

Yep that's what I meant. I hadn't realized they didn't call the cube speakers "pro speakers". But now I do...and knowing is half the battle
