Don't forget that Qube 2 memory is super expensive and hard to find. I'm 
pretty sure that the i386-based Qube 3 takes standard PC100 or PC133 
RAM, which you probably have lying around in a box somewhere.

Wow! I never realized that the Qube 2 had a 64-bit RISC processor... I 
thought it was 32-bit.

I've had a Qube 2 for a while to play with and haven't yet done anything 
truly cool with it. It seems powerful enough to act as a web server and 
file server (which is what it was created for) with no problem. 
Compiling a kernel? Eh... maybe cross-compile that guy on another system 
you've got in the office.

I've also heard some people having issues with using both ethernet ports 
at the same time. I don't do this, so I can't comment. I'd love to hear 
more information on this, though.
