[Cube] G4 Cube to imac G5

[Snow White]

The imac G5 is not totally silent.  It has 3 fans that do not make much 
noise, but I can hear them humming dimmly at times.  Actually typing on 
the keyboard drowns it out for me.  They are about the same as the GF3 
fan in my previous Cube with a lower pitch (not a whine).  It is much 
more quit than any G4 (Cube excepted) I have seen.

If you have any noise about you won't really notice the fans.  I think 
the issue that I face is that although the built-in speakers are good, 
they suck compared to the Harmon Kardon speakers with the Cube.  I need 
external speakers - maybe an isub set-up would be nice.
