About one year ago, I sold my iBook G4 in order to buy the then upcoming MacBook. Due to an unexpected change of plans (I moved to a new house), that MacBook never reached my desk; I still really missed having a Mac around. Now, almost a year later, I am again back on Mac. So, what did I buy? A sleek black MacBook? An all-powerful Intel PowerMac quad-core? No. David, OSNews' owner, sent me his G4 Cube.

And Apple wondered why it wasn't a resounding success? With a price tag of $1799, when an equivalent PC could be had for $600.
Cool looks are nice, but paying an extra $1100 just for that is definitely going to limit market share. OK, you do get OSX rather than Windows, but if you're a devout Windows hater (like me) you can always run Linux.
The author has suggested that Apple revive The Cube with a price tag of $999. That's closer to reality, and some might go for it, but I personally would find it hard to justify the relatively high price (vs. a Linux PC) unless there is more to be had than cool looks. Especially since this machine seems to have a very "uncool" cooling system.
