Apple G4 Cube with Apple Keyboard, Mouse,
Power Supply, Monitor, and USB Speaker AdapterMy G4 Cube video is live now!
If you are a vintage Apple collector or just love retro tech history,
this PowerMac G4 Cube system is a dream addition for any Apple fan.
Posted are more photos of my actual G4 Cube plus accessories.
Below is a movie I made about my G4 Cube.
The video will say it originally came with 64MB of RAM,
but I have upgraded it to 750 MB RAM and the Hard Drive to 120GB
Click to open my G4 Cube Video on YouTube.
Note: As I said, RAM is already upgraded so no, you don't
really need an 8 year old to upgrade it like the video says ;)
I don't think Apple meant to sound condescending
in the video, they simply do not want us to think we need
someone smarter than us to upgrade their Supercomputer.
Advertised as Apple's Supercomputer in an 8 Inch cube, it features a workstation
that runs both OS 9 and Apple MacOS 10.4.11 and sold for $2,299 before upgrades.
For full disclosure, I hid nothing and my camera shows most all scratches.
I left the touch-up cosmetics for your own restoration fun and also I have taken the
extra effort and more time to help you understand how to restore Acrylic Plastic on the Cube.
Plus any scratches that might be on the metal under the clear plastic may be easily painted over too.
The back of the Cube could also use some Acrylic Restore Chemicals.
As can be seen, the cube-like design for the case was ingenious.
It was Apple's most powerful desktop workstation system of the day.
Very advanced for its time, the speed is 450MHz and the
entire computer is silent, being air cooled without a fan.
Here is the Cube Core out of the Case and showing the Cover.
The quiet G4 Cube is a favorite computer of many collectors!
Unlike many others sold on eBay, my G4 Cube has the upgraded Air Port Card.

Below is a view showing ports on the bottom.
Ethernet, 2x Firewire, 2x USB, Modem, Power, ADC, & VGA.
This photo below shows the easy access RAM and the ATI Rage 128 Pro Video Card.
Here is the included third party monitor that connects with an included VGA Cable.
See the system booted into macOS Tiger, version 10.4.11 shown here.
It comes with the Cube Power Supply, and a USB Speaker Adapter
plus Apple USB Keyboard, & the Apple Pro USB Mouse shown earlier.
What's not included?
Factory original CDs, (most always low cost on eBay).
Of course G4 Cube Serial # XA0351FRK59 has no warranty, so it's sold AS-IS
Remember, the new Original Retail Price
was over: $2,500.00 USD without upgrades.
But wait you might say, how do we know what the going prices are?
