Cube Radeon and GF2MX cards.
Sorry for all of the topics I have been posting recently, but I have finally made my decision on what to buy. I will be getting both a Cube 450 refurbished and a dual 500 Powermac refurbished from Powermaxx... Then swapping out the Proc cards. Here is my question, though. The Cube comes with a Rage Pro card (I think that is what it is called) and I want to upgrade it to, if possible, the Radeon, and if that is not available, the GF2MX. I saw a Radeon on Ebay, but that is the only place I could find one. Since the deal at Apple has obviously ended, is there anywhere else I could go for this? Thanks.

This is not going to be a simple swap. Things are very tight in there. And there are heating issues to deal with too.
Here's a link where someone worked it out:

Good luck let us know how it goes.
I really want a dual proc card for my cube as well...
<strong>Sweetness. Now to go find a place that actually carries one.. Now that we are on the topic, what other cards will work in the Cube? (ADC preferable, but I would like to know the others that work as well) Thanks.</strong><hr></blockquote>
radeon 7500 (and possibly 7000 not sure) works with a few modifications to the faceplate.
promax made a dual head card that worked in the cube
radeon 8500 may work but no one has tried yet
xlr8yourmac has a blurb that mike successfully installed a radeon 7500 into his dual G4/500 Cube today. Talk about the king of all cubes
