<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">1st proposed solution: Replace the VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) board. Search on eBay for a replacement.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>2nd proposed solution: Don't expect to drive a big LCD monitor (17" or 23") from a Cube, without burdening the power supply. My own 1.8 GHz Cube has a 23" Cinema Display (acrylic) attached. To escape any power supply problem, I put a ADC-to-DVI adapter on the Cube, followed by a DVI-to-ADC adapter. Then the Display. This way, the Cinema Display is powered externally, and not from the Cube's power supply.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>3rd proposed solution (not that you asked): To keep heat to an absolute minimum, I've removed the (400 GB) Hard Drive from the Cube, and installed it in an external FireWire enclosure outside the Cube. It boots the Cube just fine from a FW cable. With a (quiet) fan inside the Cube... and the H/D outside the Cube... and the Cinema Display not depending on the Cube's power supply... my Cube is fast, silent, and cool.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>If anyone can point out how to install more than 1.5 GB of RAM in this machine, I'll have it pretty much knocked.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Many thanks!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>John</DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV style="font-size: 12px; "><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV style="">============================</DIV><DIV style="">John H.
