So, the bad news is that I had to cancel my order for a Power Mac G4 Cube enclosure because it was pretty low quality. The good news is that I lucked out and found a G4 Cube on eBay that actually boots! It arrives next week and I’m thrilled 😁

I remember seeing the original in a store in NYC in 2000. I don’t think they ever came to Australia but if so I’m sure they hadn’t before then.

Such a gorgeous design, well before it’s time. Heat was a big issue, sadly. Those G4 processors ran HOT. Looking forward to slapping a Raspberry Pi inside the enclosure :)

It was. It was Jobs’ crowning vision in terms of desktops. The mini is its direct descendant. Closer in time to the original Mac than us by some way too.
