Hey all, I'm still happily running a cube with the original processor & graphic card, but new hard drive and optical. I'm trying to get a general sense of cube longevity because my big monitor just died and I'm caught in the classic upgrade-or-ride-it-out dilemma. Do I get a tide-me-over monitor, or upgrade across the board (I'd probably go iMac in the largest screen configuration). I use mine daily, powering down on most nights. The only significant problem I ever had was the drives dying. Otherwise it seems like it just might run forever. Any comments appreciated, but mostly I'm looking for tales about longevity -- or lack there-of.
