The cube is a tasty little machine. It totally appeals to my designer side. I'd spend the extra hundred bucks to get one so it looks nice on my desk.

A large percentage of apple's customers are designers, and I bet they feel the same way as me. I'm not talking about those photoshop pixel freaks that demand Ultra SCSI and a gig of RAM - I'm talking about the average print (or web?) designer that's older (30 - 40 yeats old) who have the money and the sense of taste that the cube totally appeals to.

The space savings is really nice as well. In NYC where rents are huge and apartments are tiny - the size of this thing is important (add an LCD monitor and its quite small). I bet people in Japan are liking the size as well.

What other computer can sit on a book shelf?

Just my 2 cents. :-)
