[CUBE] Halo on a Cube

[M. Jeffrey Coco]

I'll be happy to report back once Halo arrives in my waiting hands -- 
supposedly shipped from Apple last week. I have several cubes and will 
try to run it on one of the "stock" ones.

On my "daily driver", I'll be doing a massive overhall this weekend. 
The PL 1ghz with the coma problem, has also been giving me intermittent 
lockups for the past 3 months and I've had it. So along with a new 
Giga, I'll be hiding my dc/dc board and stuffing in a Radeon 9000 Pro. 
I don't require the extra .2ghz so I intend to run the Giga at 1ghz and 
see if there's any way I can run fanless. At best, I only use this unit 
10-12 hours per week, so I'm hoping the light load will allow me to run 
silent once again.
