In fact, the DC/DC board was distinctly loose in its slot.  According to
Apple, a loose DC/DC board turns out to be one of the causes of intermittent
reboots, etc., but that turned out not to be the problem in this case.

Still, it¹s a great machine.  Has anyone bothered to add internal lighting,
etc.? I¹m asking because I intend to put the Cube in question on public
display as one of out publicly accessible computers at Perkins Observatory,
where I work.  I¹m tempted to add a caption:  ³Isn¹t this the coolest design
for a computer ever conceived?² I¹d also like to jazz up the display a bit.
(I¹ve heard of people adding internal  lights, etc.) Any suggestions?
