I have a chance to buy a G4 cube for $300 or trade it for my PSP. I was thinking of upgrading the hell out of it (max RAM, dual G4 cpu, high end radeon, bigger HD) and resell it. About how much would I get on ebay, if it's a good idea to do it?
Got a tip for us?

What's the cube have in it already? If you turn it down, I want it! That's my favorite Mac of all time!
I would suggest that you do some research on the following:LBmacman said:
- Comparable Cube sales on eBay
- How much the upgrades will cost.
- Comparable upgraded Cube sales on eBay.
Then you can see if it is worth it or not.
Personally, I am not a fan of the Cube. It is one of my least favorite Macs ever created. But some hold it in a revered status if you will. See if you can tap into that market to get a premium price.
I highly doubt upgrading a G4 Cube will be profitable. On the other hand, it seems like a nice little project. I would trade a PSP for a cube any day.
After a little research i found that with the money that I spend on the upgrades I could just buy a complete mac mini setup. I'd rather have the mini than go through the hassle of upgrading and finding a buyer. Thanks for the advice everyone.
