Just curious...

I don't think so. The CPU is roughly half the speed of the minimum requirements listed on Apple's FCP site. And the video card in the Cube is a ATI Rage 128 Pro, whereas FCP requires an AGP Quartz Extreme or PCI Express graphics card.

That said, it may still run (I'm not sure what that big a difference in graphics chipsets would do), but the experience will prove more frustrating than not, especially when it comes to rendering.

If only PC's could run OS X. :-(

How about this one?

Geeze, you are still looking for a Mac to run FCP-----Wasn't your budget in the six hundred dollar range?

Emergency car repairs cut into that idea. Now I'm actually considering trying to get OS X to run on my PC. Could be fun to see if I can actually get it to work. Gotta back up my data first though!

Minimum supported graphics cards (for Final Cut Pro): ATI Radeon 9800XT, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, ATI Radeon 9600XT or 9600 Pro, ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, NVIDIA GeForce 6600 and 6600LE, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, NVIDIA GeForce Go5200 or FX 5200 Ultra

The minimum of the minimum above has higher specs in every category, sometimes approximately double the specs (in the case of Memory Bandwidth) than the GeForce3 that ships with this Cube:

The GeForce3 card's specs are as follows:
Graphics Core: 256-bit
Memory Interface: 128-bit DDR
Fill Rate: 3.2 Billion AA Samples/Sec.
Operations per Second: 800 Billion
Memory Bandwidth: 7.36GB/Sec.

Will it work? Maybe. Is it recommended? Nope.

Thanks for the input.
