Apple has begun offering a hardware solution for the Power Macintosh G4
excessive noise problem, first reported and detailed here on MacFixIt.

The Power Mac G4 Power Supply Exchange Program offers owners of Power Mac
G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) computers "the option of reducing the operating
acoustic level of their computers by exchanging their original power
supplies and system fans for new, quieter versions." Apple says
participation in the Power Supply Exchange Program is optional.

The Power Supply Exchange Program kit is available at no charge, with a
shipping and handling fee of US$19.95 or equivalent local currency. The kit
contains the following items:
Power supply (360 W) System fan Allen key (2.5 mm) Installation
instructions Prepaid return airbill and instructions for returning the
original components to Apple

This program begins on February 21, 2003 and ends June 30, 2003. The Power
Supply Exchange Program is extended only to owners of Power Mac G4
(Mirrored Drive Doors) computers, which were introduced in August 2002.
