Some Thoughts Solution if A | Comment 1 of 12
[Edit:  the title of the comment is supposed to read:
"Solution if A<B<C and D<E<F not required"
Apparently the symbols < and > cannot be in a comment title.]

It is not stipulated that A,B,C and D,E,F are necessarily in increasing order.
If they are not so constrained, then a solution is:

two triples:
(125, 300, 325) and (875, 15325, 15300) 
produce sums of :
(1000, 15625, 15625) 
which are cubes of :
(10, 25, 25)

If the listing of A,B,C in a Pythagorean triple is inherently defined as being in increasing order, then this does not constitute a valid solution.
----------------
The program is nearly the same as for Pythagorean Triples #1 except for a few lines.
