Sounds like we have some similar future interests, Jesse. I currently have FCP4
installed on my TiBook/500, and it could really use more juice. Luckily, I also
have a G4/933 at work that I can load FCP on and use it after-hours.

I don't plan on sinking any more money in to my Cube right now. I would rather
save up for a G5 later in the year, and I'm also waiting for the next rev of the
PowerBook G4 12". This isn't to say that I'll be selling my Cube; so all you
vultures back off. ;)

The Cube will likely become the main file server for the house, once a G5
arrives, and when the price of proc upgrades sink further, I'll slap a 1 or 1.2
GHz proc in it. Then it will go atop the slender bookshelf in the corner, and
look like the work of art it is, while slaving away at server duties.
