Third Party Selling Upgraded G4 Cubes

Posted by pudge on from the howzabout-an-upgraded-20th-anniversary-mac dept.

cybercyph writes "A 3rd party is selling upgraded G4 cubes. The upgraded cubes have a 1.2 GHz G4 processor, GeForce 3 card with 64 MB RAM, 1 GB RAM (upgradable to 1.5) and a 120 GB hard drive! I can't imagine this making Apple too happy..." They are asking $1879, which is comparable to a similarly equipped new G4 from Apple.

  1. Already have a Cube? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you already own a G4 cube there are a variety of upgrade options. I recently found them myself.

    PowerLogix and Sonnet both offer upgrade cards. Many video cards fit (and can be made to submit) inside. These upgrades usually imply removing the heat sinks and adding a fan.

    The hard drive isn't too have to upgrade - if you have a 10T Torx wrench just lying about.

    www.cubeowner.com is a great resource.
