Did you tell them if you wanted to spend $1100, you'd buy two Mac minis?

I bought a new logic board on eBay for my Cube when a power issue shorted out
the Firewire ports. New-to-me board plus shipping was $195 and it's run
smoothly ever since. The guy who sold it didn't communicate well, but that's
eBay shopping for you. At least the board itself came through fine.

I've seen several Cubes chopped up for parts on eBay, so that's one way to get
the fried bits back. For the video card and DVD drive, might as well part shop.
Check out CubeOwner.com and dealmac.com to get off on the right foot.
