As noted in our forums yesterday, the Apple Store has quietly dropped the price on the 500-MHz G4 Cube by $300 to $1999 (128MB/30GB) and has added a high-end configuration, which includes 256MB of RAM, a 40GB drive, and an ATI Radeon Graphics card for $2399.

c***, I really like the Cube. It is way cool. But dagnammit, the bugger is not worth the prices that Apple puts on it. I know that there are lots of people out there that have money to burn, but I don't and won't for something that is as over priced as the Cube.
The Cube costs less to manufacture, even with a 40 gig drive and 256 megs of Ram than the base iMac does. And I am cool with Apple making profit, but there has to be a limit and its frustrating that my fellow Mac Heads won't protest like I do on such an outragious abuse as the cost of this device.
Its like the G4 Tower. Great Box. Love it. And though lots of people here say you can not compare Apple with other Computer makers, the real truth is that you can and you should. At the $1,200 level in the Wintel world you get a CD-RW AND a DVD-Rom Drive AND a 60 GIG hard drive.
Frickin A, Apple, Wake up! Get off your overpriced lilly laurels and give us a machine that is worth what you are charging.
MORITORIUM ON NEW MAC PURCHASES SHOULD LIVE UNTIL APPLE GIVE US TRUE VALUE IN THE MARKET PLACE!!!!!
