Comment Get a PowerMac G4 Cube! (Score 1) 249
I have one and there is nary a fan anywhere in the puppy! If you plop in a Seagate Barracuda IV hard drive, you'd be hard pressed to hear anything from anywhere on it (well I guess power supplies have a hum if you go up real close to them).
And it can certainly play all that you request, DVD playback: I play them all the time on my Apple DVI (ADC) screen, a beautiful experience, Ogg files: just get Audion from Panic software (panic.com).
That's my say on the matter, the Cube is small, quiet, pleasant, pretty, and eaesily runs on hot days or inside a stuffy office, it's done me well without any heat-related crashes for over a year now (lots of VERY hot days in Boston).
And I heard from a fellow who ran his G4 Cube on the same desk as his AMD fan-riddled tower in a hot cramped NY apartment, and on some especially hot days the AMD would not stop crashing, but his Cube kept going the whole time without any crashes!
oh they're just so great, yay!
