[Cube] Cube longevity...

[James Whitfield]

Hey Erik
I've had my cube since 3/2000. I haven't had any problems what soever. I maxed out my memory to 1GB and I upgraded my processor and video card because I like to play games on my Mac. Also, I've updated my harddrive. I'm a graphic designer and I live and die with my Mac. But these are really a good machine. Right now I'm in the process of getting the Macbook Pro 17" and I'm going to turn my cube into a server. But I do everything on my cube from burning dvd's to actual work.

Hey all,<br><br>I'm still happily running a cube with the original processor & <br>graphic card, but new hard drive and optical. I'm trying to get a <br>general sense of cube longevity because my big monitor just died and <br>I'm caught in the classic upgrade-or-ride-it-out dilemma. Do I get a <br>tide-me-over monitor, or upgrade across the board (I'd probably go <br>iMac in the largest screen configuration). I use mine daily, powering <br>down on most nights. The only significant problem I ever had was the <br>drives dying. Otherwise it seems like it just might run forever.<br><br>Any comments appreciated, but mostly I'm looking for tales about <br>longevity -- or lack there-of.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Erik<br><br>-- <br>######################################################<br>Erik Ness                 608-242-7604                  http://erikness.com<br><br>Winner, 2006 Gold for environmental features<br>International Regional Magazine
