Indeed! It would be cool :-) And they could use one of the powerful 
"mobile" graphic chips, like the ones used in the PowerBooks: they are 
less power hungry, and could run without a fan (silence is golden :-).

Make that videocard with the form factor that fits in the Cube without 
modifications (no DCDC board relocation, no Dremeling). Use a recent 
graphic chip that doesn't require active cooling (ATI Mobility Radeon 
9600 ?), include 64MB of VRam, and provide dual output: ADC and DVI. I 
know that the opening for the graphics port in the Cube does not 
provide enough room for an ADC port and a DVI port, but the solution 
can be using the same mini-DVI port that is used in the new PowerBook 
12". The necessary adpator to connect to a full DVI monitor already 
exists, and you have adaptors that provide VGA out or TV out!
