After many many years, I've finally decided to sell my cube. It's a turbo with a dimension board installed. The actual cube case is early (AAK0000005), which is one of the early 030 cube cases, but its been fitted with the 33MHz 040 board. With the exeption of the color printer, I recently fired everything up and all was working. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM drive died shortly afterwards. :( As for the color printer, I've never used it so I don't know if it works (it's been boxed for as long as I've had it, which is quite a few years).
Feel free to make me an offer if you're interested. If you happen to have one of the newer 24" Aluminum iMacs that you need to rid yourself of, I'd be glad to help you out. :)
I really really want to sell everything in one lot. Obviously, there's a lot of stuff (I think about 6 boxes or so), so the ideal buyer would be here in Texas--Houston to be exact. But if not, I'd prefer to ship in the United States only.
You can get more details and pics on my webpage:
http://web.mac.com/faizel/forsale/nextstuff.htmlHere's a quick summary of what I have:
33MHz 68040 NeXTcube w/ 128MB RAM, 1GB HDD, internal floppy drive
NeXTdimension board installed with 32MB RAM
17" NeXT color megapixel (FIMI; power switch doesn't stay in on position)
17" NeXT mono megapixel
SoundBox
400dpi NeXT Laser Printer
NeXT Color Printer
NeXT CD-ROM drive (this drive is dead)
NS3.3 User+Developer CDs (Academic bundle)
OpenStep 4.2 User+Developer CDs
NS3.3 Documentation (SysAdmin, Developer and User guides)
Additional CDs (Lighthouse Design Apps, Nebula CD-ROM, Peanuts Archive, Fatted Calf CD-ROM)
And some extras:
I've also got the Garfinkel & Mahoney book, NeXTSTEP Programming Step 1, a copy of "The NeXT Book" by Webster, a couple of old issues of NeXTWORLD, the BYTE magazine issue that had an in-depth look at the cube, some original brochures of NeXT hardware (including the dimension) and even an old VHS tape of a product video featuring the NeXTdimension.
I think that's everything. If not, I'm sure that my webpage (
http://web.mac.com/faizel/forsale/nextstuff.html) covers it.
Nice pictures. Nice collection. There is a lot things, that could be sold seperatly...

well, they just started selling them, so I do not belive anybody wants to get rid of one :wink:
hi there,
just wondering what's the condition of the Cube? any scratches or visual damage? or fading of the black color?
thanks,

Hey I live in Houston! If I can't afford, could I atleast come to look at it?
The case is in good condition, but it isn't spotless. There are a few scratches and dings, most of which I've tried to show on the webpage with pictures (you can actually download the pictures and I think they'll show up original size so you can see more detail).
The most obvious of the scratches are along the front edge of the cube, but there are a few other spots around the cube.
Anyway, if the pictures aren't showing enough detail, let me know and I can see if I can take some more close-up pics.
If you're in Houston, you are definitely welcome to come by and see it. Just drop me a PM to arrange a time.

Incidentally, I also have one or two of these monitors with this same power button problem.

That is a REALLY nice system.

I'm wondering if it is common to those models? Up until today, I thought it was just something specific to my monitor. I remember when I bought the monitor a while back that it was like that. I thought it was DOA, but then one day I decided to just hold in the power button to see what would happen and of course, it worked just fine.
I guess there's a spring or a clip that got worn out by constant pushing. I thought there might be an easy way to get at it to fix, but after a closer look I got discouraged. And being lazy, I figured I could just insert a piece of plastic between the switch and the case to keep it pushed in, and of course that worked, which ensured that I would never bother fixing it myself. :)

Yeah ... press & hold the button and jam in a guitar pick [a black one is preferred].
