I've owned at least 3 Cubes over the years and this person must be nuts, my Cube is offended by this, I had
talk with it and it's ok now.
The 6200CD Performa should be on there, owned one of those, d@mn that thing was slow.
The Cube was expensive, did not actually save desk space (the Cube, audio adapter, and power supply made for a sprawling mess and that is before you add speakers, keyboard, mouse, and display), and not as easy to upgrade as the Power Mac. The iMac was cheaper at the time and so was the entry level Power Mac G4. I went with the top of the line iMac and never regretted it.
I do agree that the 6200 was a dog. Not sure why the Cube made the list and not the 5200/5300/6200/6300 (excepting the fine 6360). Those were true dogs.
The Cube was expensive no doubt, I waited until I found a Mint condition one with everything BIN for
$250 many years ago when most were going $600 and up, the guy just wanted to unload it. Got the box
and all. Bought another last year just for the power supply BIN for $60, it also had an Airport card in it
but it's pretty rough, several cracks in the case, sort of sad Cube but I'll keep it for parts.
The Cube is just so darn cute and cool looking ;-) It's still an attention grabber.
I'm surprised the 20th Anniversary Mac didn't make the list also.
