What is this G3 Cube? G4 Cube (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G4_Cube)

Alas the speakers that came with it have a custom USB wiring, so they can't be used on any other computer.

Otherwise it was an excellent machine - just a bit under powered. But really easy to upgrade - just lift it out of the enclosure via the click-out handle and the whole machine was available to upgrade RAM and install a wireless card (when that was a novel thing...). Design was nice, fits on a desktop and was mostly silent except for the HD.

Jobs' love of the Cube shape can probably be traced back to NeXT : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTcube
