How funny. I picked up a NeXT '040 cube with Dimension board Sunday.
It also was a N1000, upgraded to a 25mhz '040, a working OD, a
nonfunctional HD, 64mb on the mb and 64mb on the Dimension. The N4000a
monitor is crisp and bright. I'm talking with Rob of Black Hole about a
Hitachi 21" for the Dimension side. The only thing I need is a
monochtrome monitor cable.
The non-functioning hard drive is not a problem. I have a couple of
copies of NS3.3 Dev, a junk box full of 2-4gb SCSI drives and I can set
up a new boot drive from my Turbo Color slab.

After over 10 years of trying to find a way of getting one,
I've finally gotten a NeXT Cube! It's one of the original model
N1000 cube's that has been upgraded to dual '040 boards and an
internal floppy drive. It still retains the MO drive though, which
actually seems to work fine. It has 16MB of RAM on both CPU boards
and has NeXTstep 3.2 loaded on an internal Quantum 327MB hard disk.
My only complaint is that the monitor is dim to the point of almost
being unusable. For those curious, it does show 'NeXT Computer' on
the rear panel vice 'NeXT Cube'.
