As someone who just recently sold the very same Power Mac, I have to
wonder how truly wise it is to use the GF2MX from this model.  The
heatsink is SOOOOO much smaller then the OEM GF2MX that I have in my
Cube 500Mhz.  I've heard others say that some Cube's shipped with
the tower version of these cards but even mine, with the monster 
heatsink,
still gets incredibly hot.  I'd think the tower cards would be more 
likely to
burn up.  :-/
