Say good-bye to square, hello Cube.

In what may be one of the biggest achievements Apple may have this millennium, they have managed to fit a computer inside of a 9.8×7.7×7.7 cube. Officially dubbed the “PowerMac G4 Cube,” the Cube features a 450MHz processor based on the PowerPC G4 architecture, and a standard 64MB of RAM. It is a testament to Apple’s engineering and innovation to be able to fit a computer into such a small enclosure. I will be surprised if Apple is ever able to create a smaller computer than this. I mean really.

So far, the Cube has received many mixed reviews. Some people are absolutely in love with it, while others absolutely despise. The Cube’s form factor is quite attractive to me, though I may have to sell Apple the rights to my first born and part of my house to afford it. At a base price of $1799USD, it will cost you a pretty penny to have this piece of art.

One thing that you need to keep in mind though, is that the Cube does not come with a display. It supports resolutions up to 1900×1200. Once you buy your own display, you will be set, as it does come with an Apple Keyboard, and Mouse.

With this announcement, Apple is certainly pushing the boundaries of computer design. What are your thoughts on the new Cube?
