            Don't confuse Mac OS X Server with Mac OS X: OS X Server was more of a
    "technology preview" and has little to do with the upcoming Mac OS X. For
    example, there's no RAID software for OS X Server; but there will probably be
    plenty for OS X.

            Your G4 Cube will run OS X just fine when it finally comes out next year.
    However, after working on one last week I'd strongly recommend putting a small
    fan in it if you plan on using it as a server. In fact, the bracket tabs are
    already there, thoughtfully provided by the engineers in case their chimney
    effect cooling wasn't adequate. IMHO; it's barely adequate for desktop duty;
    but inadequate for server duty.
