NeXTcube was a high-end workstation computer developed, manufactured and sold by NeXT from 1988 until 1993. It ran the NeXTSTEP operating system. The NeXTcube was released as modern, futuristic computer for the 1990s that would change the way computers were used. Several models were produced, including the NeXTcube 030 (25 MHz), 040 (25 MHz) and Turbo (33 MHz). It cost US$6500. The NeXTcube came with a NeXT MegaPixel 17" monitor (with built-in speakers) and a keyboard and mouse.

NeXT later released the NeXTdimension for the Cube, a board based on an intel860, which offers 32-bit PostScript color display and video sampling features. The Cube was commercially unsuccessful, due to its high price. However, some are still used around the world as servers.

World Wide Web

A NeXTcube was used by Tim Berners-Lee as the world's first web server, and also to write the first web browser, WorldWideWeb.
