[CUBE] cube power supply and upgrades

[Richard Clark]

Not sure if the processors would be much of a problem because i'm sure 
they use some kind of inverter but who knows i wanted the dual 800 
anyway because i'm sure it costs less. I sent an email a couple of days 
ago to powerlogix asking about the dual 800 and they said to wait until 
FEB. because then they will have the dc/dc board ready and will come 
with both the dual 1 ghz and the dual 800. I didn't ask because i 
forgot but i hope the new dc dc board is same size as the original or 
we will have big problems with video upgrade.(as if there aren't enough 
already) anyway so far a thumbs up for powerlogix they answered all of 
my dumb questions so far very swiftly.
