The daughter card has an attachment to the input buttons and LCD screen on the back of the Qube.  When I first got the Qube, I noticed that it rattled quite a bit.  Turns out that the LCD screen was loose and rattled on the PCB.  So I whipped out my hot glue gun and glued the LCD firmly to the PCB.

Here is the motherboard and the 2 network interface controller chips.

Finally, the whole thing is disassembled.  I hope I can get it back together!  I have emails to respond to on the hard disk!  I don't know about you, but where else can you find a website that will take apart it's working mail server just so people can look inside?  The things I do for you guys!  Crap, I do hope I can put it back together....

The original Gateway Micro Server cover.  Compared to the Cobalt cover, it's not very attractive is it?

If I had a small office with several employees, I would definitely buy a Qube to handle all my server needs.  It does many things and does them well.  Plus it is small, doesn't use much power, reliable, and really cool looking.  If your business needs a server and you don't have a massive IT team, then you should give the Qube series a close look.

I hoped you enjoyed the tour of this little guy.
