Now this is interesting!  I have the Rage128 in my Cube, and I would 
just love to be able to swap it for the GeForce 4 MX sitting in my 
(hardly ever used, because it is too loud) G4 Tower. Reading 
cubeowner.com, I had come to the conclusion that the GeForce 4 MX card 
is not really to be trusted in the Cube.

Besides the mechanical issue of moving the DC board, did you experience 
any increase in temperature at all? I'm curious because I am drooling 
for one of the upcoming 1 GHz fanless CPU cards, and I am afraid the 
combined additional heat of the CPU and the GeoForce 4 MX would strain 
the poor little machine too much.

Cheers,
