Description from the seller

+ Apple PowerMac G4 Cube – Iconic Collector’s Edition – Complete Original Bundle

Own a piece of Apple history with this rare and highly sought-after PowerMac G4 Cube, designed by Jonathan Ive and released in 2000–2001. This revolutionary machine, known for its stunning transparent acrylic enclosure and passive cooling, is a must-have for retro computing enthusiasts and Apple collectors alike.

+ Technical Specifications

Model: PowerMac G4 Cube (M7886)

Processor: PowerPC G4 (500 MHz)

RAM: 256 MB, expandable

Storage: Original hard drive Quantume Fireball 30 GB
Graphics: ATI Rage 128 Pro (16 MB VRAM)
Operating System: Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Connectivity: USB, FireWire 400, 10/100 Ethernet, audio in/out, and proprietary ports for display and speakers.

+ Bundle Contents:

This PowerMac G4 Cube comes as a complete, original set, making it a highly desirable package for collectors:
- Apple Studio Display (15" or 17" CRT, depending on the model) – Fully functional, no major display issues.
- Apple Pro Keyboard (USB) – In good working condition, missing one key (specify which if known).
- Apple Pro Mouse (USB, transparent model) – Functional.
- Apple Harman Kardon SoundSticks – Shows signs of age-related wear (e.g., slight yellowing or minor scratches), but fully operational.
- Original Cables: Power cable, video cable, FireWire cable, USB cable, etc. – Minor scuffs on the cable sheaths (near the ends), but no exposed wires or cracks.

Condition:
Enclosure: Excellent condition for its age. Light scratches on the top surface (common with use), but no cracks or breaks. The iconic transparent design and passive cooling system are intact.

Functionality: Tested and working. Powers on, hardware recognition is normal, and there are no unusual noises. Ideal for retro use or display.

+ Cosmetic Notes:

The keyboard is missing one key (please specify if known).
The speakers show signs of wear consistent with age, including damaged membranes, which may impact sound performance.

+ Why This Cube Stands Out:

Iconic Design: Suspended in a clear acrylic case with no noisy fans—a true marvel of industrial design.

Rarity: Produced for only one year (2000–2001), making it a highly collectible item.

Performance: Still capable of handling light tasks (basic web browsing, emulation, or retro office work).

Historical Value: A symbol of Apple’s innovation at the turn of the millennium.
