Apple no longer make them and they are quite rare. Contact any second hand Apple dealer to see if they have any, otherwise an auction site like eBay or something similar is your best bet.

Edit: it's official name is the Apple Power Mac G4 Cube.

Hope that helps.

as far as i've ever seen, you'd be better off getting a new mac mini... some of the prices people want for their cubes are insane.

well - if you've got the money to burn some company just came out with a dual processor upgrade - pretty powerful for the cube

but then again you might as well just spring for a imac G5

edit - damn it mine's coming the 15; stupid amazingly popular apple products.

They are beautiful things, very much an icon of the new Apple that we've seen in the last 5 years or so.

I still think the Apple Cube is an amazing piece of engineering and design. Would really ike one, just for the banter!!

the cubes were so heavy tho!!! but it was an engineering feat for its time, just like the mac mini is today..... and it caused the "shuffle" line of PC computers to come into existance.

Most used Cubes look pretty scruffy now, and lots are sold without all the original accessories that came with them.
I wouldn't buy one unseen

I have always wanted a Cube but thats the reason stopping me buying one. Most of them seem to have cracks in the case or scratches he are there. If I am expected to pay premium for a POS computer (computer wise) then at least I expect to have a very good looked after enclosure.

Plus, there are so many great lickable Apple stuff today that I forget about the Cube.
