travistouchdown thanks for creating this thread! I think it's important to have a resource for the g4 cube...a machine that was ahead of it's time. All you need to do is go on ebay to see how these machines are starting to creep up in value. I recently acquired two g4 cubes for $15 each from the e-waste recycler I go to and I got the power supplies for $5 each...a steal in my opinion as these machines are becoming very rare. Both machines are in working condition. One has os x 10.3 and the other OS 9.2.2 My first project will be to replace the spinning drives with solid state drives...this way you can truly enjoy the fanless quiet design. I think it's funny they designed these computers to be quiet yet you have a loud obnoxious drive churning away that can be heard from across the room. I purchased a used 40gb SSD on ebay for $20 bucks and a SATA-to-IDE converter card. If all goes well I'll have an SSD booting up os x 10.4 which is the version that can run the tenfourfox web browser. I'll attempt to make a video of it and post it to youtube if I am successful. I did have two questions which I was unsure of regarding OS 9.2.2. Perhaps someone knows the answer: 1. Is there a clear way where you can have a clean dual boot setup? I think for one to really enjoy the 'vintage' experience you should be able to boot up either os x 10.4 or OS 9.2.2 2. Do you have to use the ADC connector and the original monitor when booting up into OS 9.2.2? The machine I have running 9.2.2 won't allow you to use a regular monitor connected to the vga port. I'm wondering if this is simply a configuration setting that needs to be fiddled with? I did get my hands on the original monitor with ADC connector but I feel it would be limiting to always have to use the old monitor. Thanks -Jason
