I think the G4 Cube was about $1,799 when first introduced. It seems like I remember some of the grousing centered around it costing the same as a G4 tower, but minus any real “expansion”. For some reason “$1,799” has stuck in my head, but it’s been so long.
PS - if you want to feel old (and a bit wistful for the good ol’ days),
watch Steve introduce the Cube way back in 2000.
EDIT: Yep, $1,799
