An answer from Sonnet
abouth the Ghz card
Here is the message we sent
to Sonnet in order to know if the Ghz
card will work with the Cube (it did not
seem to be the case when they first posted
information about that card on their Web
site) :
"I have noticed
that you say that only the 800 Mhz is
supported for the Cube? Does this mean
that the 1 Ghz won't work in the Cube?
Is it a physical problem (the card is
too big)? Or a heat problem? Or can it
work but you just don't support it....?
"
And here is their answer:
" Both 800MHz and
1 GHz will be compatible with a Cube Installation
Kit, which we highly recommended to be
installed professionally. "
Cube parts and systems

New Powermacs?
 |
The French Web Site MacBidouille
has posted some pics of the next
PowerMac G4 (G5?). The white color
seems to come from the flash of
the camera. The new PowerMac will
probably have a Grey and silver
color. It will have four hard drive
bays and 2 5"1/4 bays, DDR-RAM.
The processor model and speed is
unknown.
We don't know if this is a fake
or not, but it seems real. MacBidouille
also posted some pictures of the
motherboard which seems similar
to the red motherboard seen on e-bay
a while ago.
We'll probably know more in August.
Stay tuned.

Cube parts and systems
tracker updated 07/19/02
We have updated the Cube
parts and systems tracker. There are several
new deals on Cube parts and systems.
Cube-Zone coupon on
Sonnet cards : $10 off
We have negotiated a deal
on the new 800 and 1 Ghz Sonnet cards
with our partner Macs4all.
You can now have a $10 discount on all
those cards if you use the "cubezone"
coupon. Here are the prices after the
discount :
Encore (SG4-800-2M) G4 800MHz
$479.95
Encore (SG4-1000-2M) G4
1.0GHz $679.95
Be carefull, the 1 ghz card
may not work with the Cube... We're still
trying to figure out why Sonnet claimed
only the 800 Mhz card works with the Cube.
it may be due to heat issues.
Exclusive offer for
the Cube-Zone readers : Cube enclosure
for $129
Our partner, Deal
Express, has an exclusive offer for
the Cube-Zone readers. They are selling
a Cube enclosure for $129 (The product
ID is 3818).This offer is only
for Cube-Zone readers. they won't sell
those enclosures to anybody else. That's
why you have to use the "Buy it"
button, and write "cubezone"
in the comments field (yes the comments
field, not the coupon field).Hurry, there
are only a few of them! They also still
have some enclosures + chassis for $249
instead of $299 (check the Cube parts
tracker to know how to obtain that).

New iMac with a 17"
TFT screen
We were not sure it would
happen...but it did. Apple
announced the 17" TFT iMac at MWNY.
That 17" screen seems amazing! The
specs are the same one as the former high-end
iMac : a 800 Mhz G4.
