[Cube] Daystar upgrades?

[Donald Schwab]

Never had a lick of trouble with my Gigadesign 1.2 GHz, installed in  
autumn 2004, and run pretty constantly in fanless configuration since.

The Cube has been running 1.25 GB of RAM, a 32 MB ATI Radeon7000  
video card, and a WDC 120 GB 7200 rpm 8 MB cache hard drive.

However, urges to run a more powerful video card (ATI Radeon9000 Pro  
with 64 MB) led me to reclothe my cube in OWC's bigger, better  
ventilated case last month.

The Gigadesin 1.2 GHz has run flawlessly through all of this, and the  
Cube definitely seems to be running cooler now.
