Check this out:

I was thinking about selling my cube, but it looks like I may just make a little project out it. A review of the Powerlogix PowerCube Enclosure from www.cubeowner.com may have convinced me to keep it a little longer.

It looks pretty cool. It allows for extra air flow inside the cube and also makes space for a better graphics card. Plus you can get it with G5 styling, cheese grater included!

Yea, I know about this. A lot of Cube owners has been very creative lately giving their Cubes a new life, new look even. You can put a dual G4 in those Cubes now, someone even fit a ATI 9700 Pro in them. Company like that will also keep on making upgrades for it as well. This is one of the reason why Cubes still has a very nice resell value in the market.

Bought it...And I don't even have a cube...But it's a good investment for the future...I got scared when I saw "Limited Production Run" and whipped out the credit card. Crap...Buyer's Remorse...Oh well, I got the powder black with chrome grill.

I'm very much into customization, but I don't know what I would do with these. I still think that making a new wrapper for the cube insides is still rather sweet.

Ok, I've had some time to think about this.

It's a cool idea, but the options are limited.

I'd like to have something laser-etched in it. THAT would be cool.

Lights, too.

I just don't know what I'd do with a stainless steel-looking Cube when the one I have is just fine.

Too bad it doesn't have an Apple logo.
