RARE Apple Power Macintosh G4 450 Cube FOR SALEAd created Jan. 27
❝Even today, a healthy segment of Mac users considers the Cube to be a cult classic...
When it comes to love-it-or-hate-it products out of Cupertino, few offerings can match the Power Mac G4 Cube for getting people to choose sides. Even a decade after its debut—Steve Jobs unveiled the Cube at the July 2000 Macworld Expo in New York and the desktop shipped a month later—the Cube still stirs passionate debate between its detractors and defenders.❞ ~

"Collector's item. Steve Jobs wanted the machine to be silent, but it was not, as the hard drive was rotating and therefore spun a little. In this copy, the hard drive has been replaced with an adapter and an SSD, so now it makes as much noise as a calculator. The rare speakers and the rare CRT screen are included. As well as I have the original LCD screen, which is also included, however, in questionable condition. Everything in photos works. OSX 10.3 is included and is the version (10.3.9) of OSX that the Cube runs best with. The parts are made of acrylic and can therefore be polished with acrylic polish, if desired. Exceptionally cheap $460 / €403" ~Sellers statement (Original Price $1799)

MacOS 9 Support:
Boot/Classic Mode
This Power Macintosh G4 model is capable of
booting Mac OS 9 and using Mac OS 9 applications within the Mac OS X "Classic" environment. the seller states it runs best on Mac OS X Panther 10.3 -I'm, sure other Cube owners can add a statement to that.
Cube Introduction Date: July 19, 2000 - Discontinued Date: July 3, 2001
Pre-Installed MacOS: 9.0.4, 9.1* Maximum MacOS: X 10.4.11
Panther 10.3 released October 24, 2003. So I don't know why the seller says it runs best on 10.3, but my best guess is the seller will have an easier time selling it the X System to "modern" users.
I'm sure
DieHard can assist with additional info.
One could always use dosdude1's workshop
https://doslabelectronics.com/ and have them overclock it or make other enhancements to it.

This Cube is located in DK, if anyone want to buy this, my offer as always is the same.
You can pm me for assistance in contacting the seller for inspecting, acquiring, packaging and shipping, if need be -just an offer. Though this Cube is located 199 Mph / 320 Km away from me, it will take some planning.
Download the Cube Photo Shots to see all 21 photos@DieHard + @refinery -I agree 100%, though I still recall I drooled at the Mac Pro at first glance -both still have the same effect design wise.
Attached to external values instead of the internals -is a mindset that needs to be flipped.
Update: February 18, 2022: A trip has just been planned for this summer, so heading there anyway. As I've got family that way and my daughter is going to visit a friend. Anyone are welcome to contact me, just sent me a PM.
