Paul, Just an option for the noisy power supply fan. I have an M12 power supply (quiet powerful) fan kit for an MDD. I bought it, then while waiting 2+ months for delivery, I decided to replace the whole power supply on my dual 1.25 ghz MDD, with a new apple factory power supply. The -new- power supply had the 'quiet' apple upgrade/fix. It was spendy. That done, this piece became unneeded. Ordered from Holland over a year ago. Brand new, in box, as sent. Sell for $115.00 US (slightly less than I originally paid) includes shipping to a US continental destination. Today's cost for this kit in Euros: 109 + 29 (shipping) = 138 Euros = $215.00 US. http://www.pcsilent.de/en_pd_verax_m12_m_12_apple_g4_power_supply_fan_quieten_low_noise_mac_macintosh_306.html ps- you need to know your way around the MDD innards to install this. Paul, or Anyone interested in this fan kit may contact me: oregon5949 at yahoo.com jonny /// >Paul: > >If you are running OS 9, look at the firmware update to control the fan: >http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120171 > >Also, check the lowendmac profiles: >http://lowendmac.com/ppc/mdd-power-mac-g4-dual.html > >and search for "MDD" in the Search LEM box. > >Also, at lowendmac is the LEM Swap List: >http://lowendmac.com/lists/index.shtml > >Al Poulin > >On May 28, 2008, at 2:54 AM, Paul wrote: >>Hello all, >> >>as many of you would know, the MDD G4 Power Macs had a reputation >>for being rather noisy - so much so that Apple initiated (after >>pressure from many disgruntled users) a program to replace the >>power supply and CPU fan in offending machines. >> >>I have a G4 MDD 1.25 GHz DP FW400, and I tried to use it for a few >>days - I work as a sole trader in a fairly quiet room in the house >>- I found the noise to be so intolerable that I went back to my G4 >>933 MHz, which is what I'm using now.
