So is that Cube maxed out for hardware?  Or can you do any upgrading at all on it?

I thought those were pretty cool as a concept; it surprised me that hardly anyone bought them.

Yeah i fogot to mention that, I did upgrade the ram and hdd already, it came with a 20 gig hdd, and if I get around to it I am going to add the Sonnet 1.2ghz cpu upgrade into it. The nice thing about the mac mini is that it will have a faster bus, comes with OS 10.4, and is small. I would keep the cube as my music machine because of the hard drive space and use the Mini for everything else. OR i might just get OS 10.4 for the Cube and add the Giga Design 1.8ghz cpu or like the Power Logix 1.4 cpu. It depends on what I want. The one thing I like about the cube is how you take it apart.

That sounds like a good plan (using the Cube as a music machine).

One of the things about the upcoming Apple-Intel situation that intrigues me is the notion that future Intel-based Mac Minis might be bridging the gap between gaming consoles and personal computers.

I wouldn't mind one of those suckers in my living room, connected to my TV.    8)

HAHAH yeah that is why I think I will upgrade ethe cube and get my hands on a Intel Mac Mini that could possibely have a 2.6 - 3.0 ghz proccessor in it. That would just rule, so I think for now I am going to just upgrade the Cube's CPU.

How is that for a 1337 system? It has an OS that took a few years to make, but it comes with a word processor, paint program, and it never crashes (Unless placed too close to a heat/water source)

If you are legitimately considering spending $6,700 on a computer, it is my unfortunate duty to advise you that you have lost your fucking mind.

Pentium D 820 ( 2x2.8 ghz)
300 GB 7200 RPM ATA hard drive
1GB PC2-3200 DDR2 SDRAM memory
a crappy integrated intel gfx card, 244mb
19" LCD screen

Bought it 2 weeks ago, no complaints so far apart the graphic card bitchin.

HD is unfortunetly already full but even with all the shit installed and downloaded I haven't had a single crash yet.

HP media Center PC m7067c, I'd suggest it to anyone wanting a reliable comp.

This is my first ever home built PC  :D

AMD 64 X2 4400+
ASUS A8N-SLI
ASUS extreme n7800 GTX (with plans on getting another one  :wink: )
2GB Corsair RAM
200GB Seagate HD
Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum

It took me about a week (and five trips to Fry's) to get this running, but I fianally did and it was SO rewarding!

After I get the dual graphics cards running, I'm planning on getting a 30" Sony HDTV to run it on  :D  :D

Good for you... it's worth doing if you can handle the details, if nothing else because you learn a bunch and end up knowing a lot more about your own system that way, and it's usually cheaper that way as well.

Looks like you built a pretty good machine.
