Should not be a problem. I have an '026A and a '814A installed in my G4 Sawtooth tower. They are very quiet, too.<br><br>

According to Everymac.com:<br><br>Powermac G4 Cube:<br><br>Ultra ATA/66 (ATA-5)<br>Details: *Originally configured with a 30 GB (5400 RPM) hard drive, but it also could be configured with a 40 GB (5400 RPM) or 60 GB (7200 RPM) hard drive. Drives larger than 128 GB are not supported.<br><br>

The drive will work, but you will only see 128GB. This is a limitation of the ATA controller in the computer.<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

<br><br>You MUST like the cube a lot. I think it's cool and would like to have one just to say I have one, but they are dinosaurs.<br><br>A few things that could not move over to OSX? Like what?<br><br>Claris Works newsletters...you send these out or something? Can't update to Pages or something else like NeoOffice?<br><br>NVU? Not familiar with that. Why not try iWeb or Shutterbug a try? I can't imagine what your site looks like.<br><br>
