The first secret of the salvage cube is that it's not called the "salvage cube." There's a lore and a story behind it that's not been revealed yet[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/the-lore-of-the-unnamed-salvage-cube/], however, we are privy to its name. According to Bashiok, it is named the "[[Nephalem Cube]]"[http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=27810241169&sid=3000&pageNo=4#64]:
::<blue><font color="#FFFFFF">Bashiok, is it true? Is the salvage cube named the Nephalem cube? Would you mind clearing up the confusion you unfortunately created with the possible misinformation?</font><br>It is indeed. I wasn't aware Jay had said that.</blue>
<blue>It is indeed. I wasn't aware Jay Bashiok had said thatthe name of the cube was a slight spoiler, so it would make sense to expect some sort of presence of the [[Nephalem]] in Diablo III.</blue>
Bashiok had said that Prior to the name reveal, the actual title of the cube object was a slight spoiler, so it would make sense to expect some sort of presence of mystery. During the first sighting in the [[NephalemArtisan Video]] in Diablo III., Jay Wilson called it just a "special artefactartifact." in the Artisan video. Into this void had stepped fans with early options including the Horadric Dumpster, Horadric Recycling Bin, and Horadric Trash Can.
That said, no matter what fancy name and lore it's given, it seems likely that fans will all just call it the cube, or chest, or box. What we do know about the Chest is that it's given to the player by [[Haedrig Eamon]], the Blacksmith, as a quest reward early in the game.

The image to the left depicts the Nephalem Cube as of the [[demo]] in BlizzCon 2010. This iteration of the cube is much more reminiscent of the horadric cube from Diablo II.

It may or may not be worth noting that this cube is the same graphic that Blizzard used [http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/media/horadrapp/ for their April Fool's joke] in 2010, the "Horadric Cube app".
