Hi, I am looking for some advice on a Mac Cube that i am being offered to buy.

It is a G4 450- 256 ram, 20 gig hd, with ir mouse, speakers, int dvd, external cdr, and 17'' edge to edge mac digital monitor. Oh also an airport card installed. os9 and panther. ALL MAC ORIGINAL H/WARE AND DISCS.

The price tendered so far is £700 sterling.

Is the machine a good spec etc?
Reliable?
Is the cost good?

look forward to you input.

Thanks

700 UK £ is a bit high for that. In US the prices can be very roughly around 500 $. In UK more but .. search on ebay uk etc to see more prices.
Good and reliable, but 256 MB RAM .. I'd add more RAM (and pay less).
Where were you offered the Cube?

Then again, there are not many cubes around. I do know people who would pay anything to get one ...

Hi. It is a good friends father who is selling it. I have just seen it has put it on e-bay also. No 5123268756 and the monitor 5123440586

Are they good? and also do you know what the max ram allowed?

Thanks

I've always seen the Cube as the pioneer for all these small-form-factor PCs that you see nowadays. I would love to own one, yet my 2 boys come first.
