The low end cube is 450MHz ($1799), the low end tower is 400MHz ($1599). However, the tower has Gigabit Ethernet as of today, while the cube sounds as though it only has 100Mb/s. The cube has no expandability [other than memory, hard disk and maybe graphics card], while the tower has multiple hard drive bays, can have a ZIP disk as well, 3 PCI slots. I don't see any reason why I would buy the low end cube over the tower - do you? The problem I see is that once again, Apple has been screwed over by Motorola at the MHz end of things. What should have happened is that the Cube should have been introduced with 500MHz at $1799. The 400MHz tower should have been dropped, and the two high end towers should have been 500MHz and 600MHz dual G4s. Now that would have made more sense. I suspect that what we saw today were definitely not the MHz and price points which Apple had originally planned when they started designing this cube - thanks to Motorola.
