	Macworld: Power Mac G4 Cube
		Cube users with USB devices they plug and unplug frequently may want to invest in a USB hub; those with FireWire devices may need to leave a loose cable dangling from the back.
		Worse news for all users is that the Cube's speakers have short cables, just 26 inches from the headphone jack to each of the clear, spherical speaker cases.
		Never mind that forgoing on-board analog circuitry necessitated the addition of the biggest power brick Apple has ever shipped (it has to be that big to support the large displays that might draw power from the Cube) -- you knew something had to go to fit so much computer inside a 7-inch-square plastic box.

	Power Mac G4 Cube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power Mac G4 Cube (also known as Power Macintosh G4 Cube) was a quiet, fanless, compact Macintosh personal computer from Apple Computer.
		As a result of the failure of the G4 Cube, Apple Computer's stock (which had risen to a high based on the success of the iMac G3) had dropped back to the low levels from before the iMac was released.
		Nevertheless, with the release of the relatively inexpensive Mac Mini (coupled with Apple's switch to G4 processors and eventually Intel Core based processors) the Cube again faded into the background.

	Wired News: Apple Cube: Alive and Selling
		Used Cubes fetch premium prices on eBay, there's a thriving trade in aftermarket upgrades, and dedicated owners are going to extreme lengths to keep their much-loved machines current.
		New processor upgrades for the Cube may soon make it one of the fastest G4 Macs on the market, and a computer boutique specializing in high-design technology has just started selling a line of upgraded Cubes to its well-heeled customers.
		Duncan, a Brooklyn-based Mac consultant, said the Cube is unique, a utilitarian computer that verges on a piece of art.

	Power Mac G4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original Apple Power Mac G4 was introduced at the Seybold conference in San Francisco on 31 August 1999, with 400 MHz, 450 MHz and 500 MHz configurations available.
		The last real update to the Power Mac G4 line was on 28 January 2003 offering dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC 7455 processors, with features not seen in previous DDR models: built-in FireWire 800 connector, optional integrated Bluetooth, and optional integrated AirPort Extreme.
		With the launch of the Power Mac G5 on 23 June 2003, Apple quietly re-introduced the August 2002 Power Mac G4 because of perceived demand for Mac OS 9 machines.

		The Giga Designs 1.5 GHz G4 Cube upgrade is the perfect CPU for the project with it's 1.33 GHz 7457 G4 @ 1.5 GHz w/512 K 1:1 L2 and 2 MB 250 MHz L3 caches.
		I was first worried about the required fan since my daily Mac is a 500 MHz G4 Cube and I have become accustomed to the silence, but the sound it makes is not loud at all and in a quiet room, unobtrusive.
		The 1.5 GHz G4 is 2.19x faster than a 450 MHz G4 in the C4D Shading test.

	ITworld.com - Power Mac G4 Cube falls from Apple's tree
		Apple Computer Inc. sliced the Power Mac G4 Cube PC from its production lines, saying in news release that there is "a small chance" it will re-introduce an upgraded model in the future, but it has no plans to do so now.
		The company first introduced the desktop Cube a year ago at the MacWorld trade show in New York, and debuted the newest version of the PC in February at the MacWorld trade show in Tokyo.
		Mac fans picked more of the G4 minitower computers than the Cube, the company said, despite sharp price cuts for the Cube in January.

		But the Cube deserves an 8-inch-square space on the desks of people who want a fast, modern Mac that’s a pleasure to use.

	Apple discontinues G4 Cube - Jul. 3, 2001
		"Cube owners love their Cubes, but most customers decided to buy our powerful Power Mac G4 minitowers instead," said Philip Schiller, Apple vice president of worldwide product marketing, in a statement.
		Apple unveiled the Cube almost a year ago at the MacWorld trade show, calling it "a supercomputer miraculously engineered into an eight-inch cube, suspended in a stunning crystal-clear enclosure." But sales of the Cube were far lower than what the company anticipated.
		The Cupertino, Calif.-based company said they may release an upgraded model of the G4 Cube, but no plans are currently in the works.

	Power Mac G4 Cube versus Mac mini shootout - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
		Although I am the self-appointed leader of the Cult of Cube, I can objectively see how someone who is not so devoted to their Cube might simply replace it with a Mac mini.
		The Mac mini will have some mod potential, but once it's dead, it won't be useful as much of anything other than maybe a large firewire drive enclosure, a mood box (if you light it right) or a kid's booster seat.
		The cube has a larger cache, faster hard drive, and is easy to open up to change internal components, and also holds more ram.

	Power Mac G4 Cube 'Special Edition' -- Hey, It Could Happen! \|\| The Mac Observer
		As a long-time Mac aficionado and a year-long Cube owner, I've been wholly silent about the demise of Apple Computer's G4 Cube, mainly because I am a Mac snob, and, for selfish reasons, see nothing wrong with the decision to kill the product.
		Apple should (re)release the Cube, from the outset, telling people that it will be produced in a limited run.

	IMG Review: Power Mac G4 Cube
		When I first laid my orbs on the Cube, I was watching a tape-delay broadcast of Steve’s MWNY keynote speech.
		I have to confess I was one of the zillion Mac-heads who checked the rumor sites a day or two before the keynote to see if they had any hard news to report.
		So, this Cube is not entirely silent, but compared to the huge 8600 tower parked next to it, it was quiet as a church mouse.

	Macworld: Apple's 30th Anniversary - Power Mac G4 Cube
		But six years after its debut—and five years after Apple pulled the plug—the Power Mac G4 Cube remains one of the company’s most memorable industrial designs.
		The system packed a lot of power in a small space, delivering performance similar to the Power Mac G4 in an enclosure that business executives with a sense of style didn’t need to hide under their desks (especially when paired with Apple’s one-cable ADC-equipped flat panel displays).
		Sadly, Apple misjudged the Cube’s appeal—lack of PCI expansion slots, allegations that the clear case had cracks in it, and oversensitive power buttons conspired to end the Power Mac G4 Cube’s run in 2001.

		Hook up the Cube for power, plug in Ethernet, attach a keyboard, a monitor, and the included Harman-Kardon speakers—and the back of the Cube becomes as profusely corded as that of any PC.
		As for performance, the Cube performs...well, almost exactly like the G4 towers introduced in August 1999—over a year ago (to look at the updated dual-processor G4s, see p48).
		It's not too expensive, it's got respectable power under the hood, and with its external monitor and easily upgraded components, the Cube is the perfect choice for someone who needs more than an iMac.
