Windows = Yup, u're right! Much Prefer X.2
Air = I Dunno, after installed the Fan, to mine, there's plenty of COLD air coming outta the top of the vents.
Radio = ... yup, its totally silent! Well almost! Quietest computer i ever had, and thats with the fan, and the GF3's Fan. Leaves the Software, NOT hardware, to create the sound.

I don't see why people hate on the Cube so much tho! I've upped my RAM ... only 768Mb, but RAM is cheap, i will whack in 3*512's soon.
I've Whacked in a very nice 120Gb (7200RPM, 8Mb Cache) WD Drive. A GeForce 3 ADC, and the Fan to cool things a little. Granted, installing the fan wasn't easy, but interesting.. :)

...Just the CPU upgrade to go. Why wouldn't you want a cube? Personally i don't need the PCI expansion sockets, the GeForce 3 is Plentiful Video Power for me, and 120Gb is fine too. With so many FireWire and USB Devices available, i don't get the gripes. I Love it! :D

Enjoy your Porsche.
 
I've had my custom G4 for nearly three years, I also have a PowerMac 6500/275 (with 6 gig HD and 96 megs of RAM). My first Mac was a Performa 550 (with the 68030 processor; 4 megs of ram and a 160 MB hard drive). I should have gotten a Performa 575, the 68040 would have made a huge difference. ;)

Yes, the '040 would so run Photoshop 7 better than the '030... :)

My first mac was an Apple ][.

Dude, your first Mac was NOT an Apple ][. A Macintosh is not the same thing as an Apple ][, even though they were made by Apple.
 
Though mine can't compare with the design of the cube, I have the QS 933. I won't give all the stats...just what I've added...

QS 933 (with 2 usb ports)
1024mb ram
60GB + 40GB hdds
Lacie 48x12x28x CDRW Firewire
15" Studio Display (2 usb ports)
HP Deskjet 932c
Sony DCR-PC101 Digital Camcorder (MiniDV)
Logitech S30 speakers
Logitech Mouseman Wheel
Epson 1260 Photo (w/negative) scanner

And many pieces of paper hanging around! hehe
 
indigo iMac 400 DV is what i have.

3 years old. still faithful, it's quite a workhorse. best money i ever spent, i love this thing.
 
What I love about Mac users is that they can purchase a computer and have it for 4 years and it can still do the job for them as the day they purchased it. They don't fell the need to keep up with the "Jones's". They only upgrade when the Mac breaks (which is rare) or when it stops performing the task they need it for.

In a 'disposable' and 'never happy' society it is great to see at least some people happy with what they have.

you guys are great.......
