Picked up a G4 Cube locally today. The price was too good to pass up. No cracks in the plastic but there are a decent amount of scratches. I haven't decided if I'm going to try polishing or just leave it as is.
Hard drive is loud (I'm going to start looking for a SSD solution) and the optical drive doesn't inject or eject without some help. I'll have to do some research to see if the drive can be lubricated or if I should just start looking for a replacement out of a G3 iMac.
The one thing I'll need to start looking out for is a set of speakers. The ones I got are busted up pretty badly. I'd be surprised if they work at all, cloth is totally torn on one of the two. I'm tempted to buy a cheap set of speakers from a G4 iMac and splice in the USB amp from the Cube.
Now to watch for a matching graphite Studio or Cinema Display to complete the set.
