Newly installed GeForce 3

[Snow White]

The GF3 is a great card for a Cube except

watch your heat - closely.  I found Menu Meter and Thermal in Dock on 
VersionTracker very useful.

In the Cube the wee fan on the GF3 does not have enough room to move 
the air efficiently, so high intensity graphics (like WarCraft or other 
games) will drive the temp up over a small period of time (48-52° C in 
30 minutes from a cold start).  I put a PL Case arround mine and this 
lowered the temp by 5-10° C - still no fan with stock 450 CPU.  Now I 
barely break 42° C in an hour.  All these temps are from software 
reports - not a gauge on my heatsink.
