CubeOne — a computer that joins the network by itself
CubeOne is a small computer sold by The Cube Floor with CubeOS already installed. It joins the Open Compute Network as soon as it has power and a network connection — there is nothing to install, no operating system to choose and no configuration to write. It contributes computing capacity and earns for whoever claims it. The standard model has eight processor cores, 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB disk; the C1 AI model adds a 16 GB NVIDIA accelerator. It is not required in order to take part: the agent runs on hardware you already own, and CubeOS is a free download.
- Eight processor cores, 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB disk, $580. The C1 AI model is $1,850.
- The C1 AI model adds a 16 GB NVIDIA accelerator for GPU work, which the network prices far higher per minute.
- CubeOS is preinstalled; the machine joins the network on first power-up with no configuration.
- It is out of stock: the design is finished but no production run has been committed. A queue records interest.
- Nothing about it is locked — the disk is open, CubeOS is a free download, and any other operating system can be installed.
- It earns no more per core than any other machine of the same specification.
