Completes upgrade with high visibility sign warning self off from future finger poking. ;)

I think he's just referring to the PC100 RAM, not the CPU modules.

What a great score! Those Sonnet cards make the early G3 iMacs sweet machines.

Fortuna has truly smiled upon you! I hope the void under the Cube base has been packed in, as mishandling in transit can result in the core being ripped/broken from the upper section. Not a pretty site.

Probably not old enough for your needs - but I used to run FWB's RealPC on my iBook under OS9

Ah, Suckville - never wanted to visit the place, but I too keep ending up there, when I make a wrong turn on the Project Highway.

Acid, must find lots of acid to burn my eyeballs to oblivion!!!!!!!

Look at an RJ45 wireless bridge: That way you'll get better connectivity and security. The original Airport card will probably only give you WEP, and basic 64bit under 9.x at that. http://www.amazon.com/VAP11G-Wireless-Dreambox-802-11B-Connector/dp/B005WN6X74...

You can get SSDs with TRIM support in the drive itself. Sandforce controller in the OWC range (check the specs) has TRIM native.

I tripped across http://www.metamage.com/code/v68k/ looking for something else. Is it useful?

closely followed by myself ;) Finally got the KryoFlux hooked up to my "new" Mac Mini Server, and all is good, works fine. Pop on over to http://retromaccast.ning.com/profiles/blogs/archiving-my-floopy-disks for a brief story with pictures. Sorry it took so long guys.

Sugru is pure amazingness. http://sugru.com/ Where can't you use it!

I like the QS salvage for the socket, and some heat shrink and Sugru would finish it of nicely.

The pair with the short cable would've come from an iMac, and the longer cable from a PowerMac. The iMac version's short cable keeps the desktop uncluttered by "excess" cable, but makes it painful for use on a PowerMac. Finding a commercially available extension cable is going to be difficult...

< snip > Yes, speakers for the Cube have a USB amp/adapter as the Cube did not have any audio-out jack. The other type are the PowerMac speakers that use a micro jack, and are relatively cheap to pick up on eBay. If you want to, have a look at...

Hurrah! Did some looking. Looks like Cube USB speakers worked up to 10.6.3. With the 10.6.4 update and they are recognised, but don't do what speakers are supposed to do.

Don't toss the speakers!!!. I believe that the somewhere in the early releases of 10.6 Cube speakers (probably the USB adapter) stop working. Either try them on a 10.5 system, or earlier, but definitely keep them until you can try them on the Cube. If they don't work at all, may I ask for...

That's handy to know if you get a MDD that's not packed with 4x512MB, and you want to max the RAM - unfortunately my QS only counts the first 512MB on the SIMM.

60GB SSD for $50, not bad. Plenty of room. I've currently got 10.7.4 running on a 32GB microSD (class10) leaving plenty of room. 10.6.8 & Win7 on the 750GB 7200rpm main HDD.
