Below is the last few weeks of scores from evilbay.
In addition to these, when I went to pick up some of the items from a local seller, I also bought the following:
Quadra 700, maxed VRAM and 32MB of 30 pin RAM, no HD, warranty (AU$40)
Ruby iMac tray 333MHz, untested ($AU15)
Random odds and sods
I paid somewhat more than I normally would, but the minitower Quadra form factor is the last one I didn't have. And I wanted to have a look at the motherboard size for *ahem* other purposes. (Verdict: man that's a big motherboard)
Here's the rest, going back 60 days:
HDi45 to DB15 Display Adapter (Audiovision adapter for 6/7/8100)
Apple Service Source CDs June 1996
PowerBook 100 Series Service Training Video (to add to the 200 and 500 series for uploading)
256K Cache card for PM 6/7/8100
SwapBox SCSI PCMCIA Card Reader x3 (for SCSI flash experiments)
G4 CPU Dual 500MHz (for my Cube)
Griffin iMic USB audio I/O (ditto)
NUBUS Adapter Card, Mac ll si
Apple Airport base station - untested, no PS (Lucent 802.11b PCMCIA card?)
Macintosh Classic faulty
Double-height external SCSI case
Apple Ethernet slot card assy 630-0734
Psion Infrared Printer Link suit 5MX
Quadra 610/650 Installer CD
Samsung 64 pin 80ns SIMMS Set of 4 - unknown size

PowerBook 100 Series Service Training Video (to add to the 200 and 500 series for uploading) It seems luck is on Macintosh liberation's side; hopefully you paid much less than the 30+ USD it reached during the 200/500 series listing.

Well, that got my attention. Can a dual G54/500MHz processor go in a Cube without serious surgery?

Not particularly serious. The bus speed is the same, so no fiddling with SMT resistors/jumpers. From memory, the VRM coil has to be bent out of the way, and an adapter plate made if you're using the original single CPU heatsink. The actual dual CPU heatsink probably needs major cutting down to fit into a Cube. And of course, a fan is recommended.
More details can be found at cubeowner.com or xlr8yourmac.com.
By the way, they're still available. $20 +$20pp. +$10 for the optional dual heatsink and fan.

Also picked up a Yamaha external Firewire CD burner for $20 from an op shop. Because a FW-ATAPI bridge is always a handy thing to have 😀

Well, that got my attention. Can a dual G54/500MHz processor go in a Cube without serious surgery? Not sure, but there was a cube on ebay recently with dual g4 1.5 ghz processors.

Did it have two slots where you insert bread (dual 1.5ghz processors make for an expensive toaster)?

There's quite a few people over at cubeowner.com who have installed dual 1GHz CPUs and up. Course, for any CPU upgrade a fan is recommended.
