    • Removing the Ram

    • Start by fliping the cube so that the side with the graphics card is facing you, you may want to push the handle back in.

    • There are 3 RAM Slots, they are Standard PC100 Ram. The cube can support up to 1.5GB of ram, that's a 512MB Stick In All 3 Slots.

    • Remove the ram, just like any other kind of ram.

    • Airport Card

    • The Cube Uses the standard PCMCIA 802.11b Airport card commonly found in macs from 1999-2004

    • Flip the cube to the side with the airport card attatched. Remove the antenna cable, then grasp the card by the plastic tab, and pull it out of it's socket.

    • The Graphics Card

    • The Cube came standard with a Mac ATI Rage 128 Pro 16MB AGP Card. ATI Radeon (32MB) and nVidia GeForce 2MX (32MB) cards were BTO options.

    • There are few Cube compatible mac cards, due to the cube's small size, heat dissipation limitations, and limited power supply capabilities.

    • Remove these T10 screws:

    • Then, pull the top piece of metal off of the computer,

    • There is a small fragile cable coming from the top if the cube for the power button/LED, before fully removing the piece, unplug this cable from the logic board.

    • Now to free the card, pull this tab towards you and with some persuasion, the card should come free.

    • Oops! Oh well, even without the brittle plastic tab, the card isn't going anywhere.

    • Then, remove the card and set it aside.

    • Removing the AGP Riser card

    • Pull the card out of the PCI Socket, and no, unfortunately, you can't use this to put an AGP card in a PCI slot in a PC.

    • Once the card is free, mind the 3 cables attached to it, remove these 2 cables first.

    • The third cable is glued to the AGP board, unplug it from the logic board instead.

    the third cable isnt glued, it just has a particularly tenacious clip on the other side, its just a standard .1” header connector made by Molex I think. The clip on mine shattered removing it though (old brittle plastic) but the friction from the pins is more than enough to hold it in

    • Removing the 56K Modem

    • Remove the 2 T10 Torx Screws

    • Then, pull the 56k modem out, there is a socket on the back of it, so be careful!

    • Removing the Voltage Regulator Module.

    • This board is called the DC/DC board, or the Voltage Regulator Module. It takes the power from the power brick and regulates the power to different components of the Cube.

    • First, disconnect the power connector.

    • Then release the white clip on the connector socket, which is accessed from the side of the core.

    • With a little persuasion, the board comes out of it's socket(it's hard to show how the board comes out, but in person, it's pretty self explanatory)

    • The Logic Board

    • Unfortunately, this as far as I am going to dissect my cube, partially because I still use it frequently, but here is an overview of the cube.

    • 450Mhz or 500Mhz PowerPC G4 Processor

    • Shipped with 64MB ram, supports up to 1.5GB of PC100 or PC133

    • One PCI Slot(Converted to AGP via adaptor)

    • No Onboard Audio.(Unfortunately)

"This was a big mistake on apple's part, because G4 processors run very hot!"

How was it a mistake? Mine still runs fine after all these years.

Can the outer housing be taken apart as well? I need to get into the space between the acrylic and the metal sleeve to clean what looks like dead-bug goo. Thanks.
