Yeah, it rally made me very unhappy. The remains of the Cube are sold
and I bought a G4 400, with the 800 MHz processor and the 1 GB of
memory from the Cube and a new 120 GB hard drive. This machine works
very nicely as well, just not as beautiful and silent :-(
I must say that the experience left me a bit less sure about how
dependable the Cube is, but somebody with the same experience with
another model would probably have the same feelings.
As for the Mac mini: wasn't available yet and too expensive. Especially
considering the parts I still had, and the G4 was picked up the same
day for 250 euros.
