Almost forgot the 15th anniversary of the G4 Cube is approaching until seeing a short article by a magazine site. There was a similar article from a different source in 2011 for the 10th anniversary linked in our July 2011 post about Remembering the G4 Cube (and mods we did), including Dual G4 CPU upgrades using Apple OEM Dual G4 and Dual G4 Sonnet Duet CPU modules made for tower models, Graphics cards like the Geforce 3 (an easy install) and Radeon 8500 (required mods, and custom case graphics like the Flag and Borg.
Here's an old link to Apple's G4 Cube Manuals (PDF) including guides to replacing the Cube's Hard Drive, Airport card, Optical Drive, Ram, etc.
I still have 2 Cubes, one with Dual G4 CPU (installed a Sonnet Duet) with Geforce 3 and the other with a (OC'd) 1.2GHz G4 with fanless Geforce 2MX card. Both bought as used/refurb stock base models. I lost count of how many times I'd taken them apart for mods/upgrades back then. (I miss those days.)
