Hey Craig, Oddly enough...I used to be really in to computer cubes and then took about a two year break. Just last week I got involved again, and my upcoming goal is to solve the 20x20x20 in sub-2hrs. But anyway, I use David Barr's applet on www.puzzlingaddiction.com (follow the links), and the neat thing about it is it will record the times you get for solving each different cube, and record them in a database. Then if you visit the best times list, you will find everyone else's solve, and by clicking on them, you will be able to see how they were solved.
So if you are looking for methods that some people use, I would suggest checking out that site. By the way, where do go to find those larger order cubes?
