Just kinda unstable compared to the TiBooks. Many times they'll have trouble with the FW ports, a real battle to get them recognized, also some times don't want to boot, in which case I reseat RAM and video cards and up it'll come up. I like my Cubes I just wonder if others have these problems too. Get the endless grey screen some times and then what a pain to get a FW boot to fix it. I'm used to the normal switch problem I can fix that in two minuets. Funny thing though, I have one with a Sonnet Encore 1.2 GHz card and it's the most stable of the four I have.
