Err I'm a cube owner - I also have a DP 867 MDD, A G3 powerbook, a  
wintel PC and a cobalt Qube. Don't give a crap about the noise the DP  
makes - it's a workhorse, a helluva fast machine and actually ain't  
_that_ loud (it isn't the noisiest machine I've had here by some  
margin).

Frankly the dual-CPU upgrades for the cube don't tempt me in the least  
- too close to the price of a new tower (especially when you take in to  
account the excellent re-sale value of a stock 450 cube). No criticism  
of any sort intended of either the upgrades or those who buy them -  
it's all down to priorities and personal preference - not to mention  
the location where they're being used. It's good to have options.

My point is simply this: post this stuff for yourself by all means, but  
kindly do not include us all in your hopeless generalisations - I for  
one don't give a stuff about MDD fan noise....
