4.G4 Cube:
The Power Mac G4 Cube was a small form factor Macintosh personal computer from Apple Inc. It was sold from 2000 to 2001. The diminutive 8" x 8" x 8" cube, suspended in a 10" tall Acrylic (PMMA) enclosure, housed a PowerPC G4 processor running at 450 or 500 megahertz, and had an unconventional vertical slot-loading DVD-ROM or CD-RW drive. A separate monitor "with either an ADC or VGA connection" was required for the Cube, in contrast to the all-in-one iMac series. The stunner Power Mac G4 Cube, the effect was off-putting when miniscule cracks on its surface was found and the $1,600 price tag which it carried made it very expensive.
