[G4] Replacement Fans for G4 MDD?

[jonny]

I DID install a Verax dual fan unit for the 
processor.  It's worked great, but not 
inexpensive.

The M12 power supply fan unit was ordered by the 
folks I was dealing with in Holland, from someone 
else (in Germany?) who had some in stock.  As I 
said, it took several months to complete the 
transaction.  Even though I used paypal, for a 
while I was as nervous as a flea about to be 
dipped.  :-)

I wished the M12 had fit my newer power supply...but not to be.

Any interest in the new in-box, M12 ?  Anyone?  Make an offer...

Thanks.

jonny
