Looking for a G4 Cube.   Not as concerned about the plexiglass shells condition, but it needs to work.  I am watching Ebay, but figured I would ask in here as well.   Will consider cash or trade for some of my Next stuff.

Let me know if you are interested.

I have a G4 Cube, keyboard, monitor, cables that we got in 1990 and took out of service in 2000.  Still works.  Also have software disks and complete set of manuals including rare catalogue of software and hardware available for the NeXT around 1990.
Make offer.

Not what I had in mind, but an interesting idea.  I have a line on one of the black powerlogic retrofit cases for a cube (if I can convince the current owner to part with it), which would make it a sort of black/NeXTish cube.  Add an ADB to USB adapter and I could even use a next KB/mouse on it to further the experience.  I could then follow it to the logical conclusion and upgrade the processor and install an emulator to run NS/OS on it  :D.

Not what I had in mind, but a neat idea nonetheless.

Snagged a Mac Cube off of ebay, and it even has a black powerlogix case installed already . :)

Will see how it works.

Very cool idea  :D  Glad that you found a suitable Cube.  I've been building a 500MHz from parts for a while now.  It will soon live :D
