To make it a bit easier the CD/DVD drive is the same as the drive used in a slot-load iMac and the CPU is the same from a QuickSilver. In all for a base system you need the following. Case Logicboard CD-RW/DVD CPU 450/500MHz CPU Power supply PC100/PC133 SDRAM (expandable to 1.5GB) AGP 2x video card hard drive If you need more info on the cube look here http://www.apple-history.com/body.php?pa...e&order=ASC Edited by (01/22/07 05:19 PM) _________________________ To live is to let die
