[CUBE] cube power supply and upgrades

[Carl R Mockler]

I just bought a external hard drive from Other World Computing.  Talked to
the salesperson about other upgrades.   FWIW, His comment on the dual 800
mhz CPU versus the 1 Ghz CPU (both PowerLogic) was that the power brick for
the cube may have some problems handling the load with the 1 Ghz CPU.  He
was going for the dual 800 On 1/7/03 13:41, "Richard Clark"
