Nice to see some Cube owners suface:-) Although it's possible to get Leopard on a 450 Cube via Helper or Carbon Copy Cloner it is really slow. I have 10.5.8 on one machine with a 1.2 processor and Radeon 7500 card because iTunes requires 10.5. The bgger problem with the Cube for me is the 100 MHz Bus speed. Any streaming video, Skype, YouTube or iChat is annoyingly choppy to impossible.
