Good to know.. Thanks. Glad I didn't buy one. Anyone trying to sell a Sonnet processor they might have lying around?

I don't.. I just notice that their CPUs are far cheaper than proper Sonnet upgrades.

Will a quicksilver processor work? Obviously have to take the 133 vs 100 bus into account.. but has anyone else had luck using those?

How’s that for OSX performance (generally) vs. a single 1ghz?

Hey all, I'm confused. Can you generally use a non-Cube Sonnet upgrade in a Cube? I know the dual CPU models require some heat sink modifications.. but do the single? I've seen a few 1.0, 1.2 and I think a 1.6 pop up on eBay.. so I was curious if these could be used in a Cube (with a fan...

Oi! Incoming story, but I feel like sharing. I'll put some pictures up a little later.. but I decided to go with an internal drive vs. Firewire. So, since an adapter seems to be impossible to find, I basically pulled the stock DVD drive out.. gutted all the components out from it, hammered it...

Yeah, I'm leaning towards external Firewire. Really no downside going that way, and it seems like you can find new-old stock on fleabay for well under $100.. not to mention, non-slot load drives are faster.

Hi all, Does anyone know of a way to mount a standard IDE laptop DVD (slot load) drive into a Cube? It seems the Cube and the slot-load iMac G3 use a drive that's quite a bit physically larger than your typical laptop slot load drive. I see some old mentions about a guy at Cube Owner who 3D...

How much for that CPU?

Yeah. I owned a cube back when they were new, and sold it. Recently picked up a used one, and a LOT of links online refer to CubeOwner.. and wayback is hit and miss with what it cached. Pity.

Those don't fit the Cube though. The stock drive is chunkier? So to use one like you linked would need some sort of bracket or 3D printed mount. https://www.thebookyard.com/product.php?manufacturers_id=24&products_id=1756

Slightly off topic, but with the talk about swapping the DVD drive, what are y'all using for a bracket? I grabbed a superdrive from an iMac G5.. but the casing is slightly smaller than the stock Cube DVD.

Hrm.. what if I left it bone stock except an SSD, and the 7500? Really trying to avoid putting a fan in.

One thing to keep in mind.. you mention your Color Classic is very slow to surf the internet. A <400mhz G3 running Classzilla truthfully isn't going to be "that" much better. It's still a very painful experience. Macintosh Repository probably works fine.. but most othe sites will be dog slow...

I've recently bought a 7500 and waiting for it to arrive, however I've been reading that it might get a bit toasty without a fan.. is this true/untrue? I'd rather keep my Cube fanless if I can.. but the Rage 128 is just so damn slow.
