[G4] Replacement Fans for G4 MDD?

[Luke Rademacher]

I recall a German company offering at one time some specific Fan  
systems replacement for the MDD "windtunnel"

I think its Vantec...

hold on I am looking for the Link I used to have.

Sorry I cannot find the link I once had. Anywho... You shouldn't have  
too many issues buying a new 120mm case fan from a dealer like Newegg  
and swapping out the old Case fan for a new one.

I used to read on www.xlr8yourmac.com some forum for people trying to  
quiet their MDD G4's.

I myself have gotten used to the hum and whir. Fortunately I am  
dabble in graphics and photoshop, not music.

Peace and Good Luck,

Luke Rademacher
