[G4] Replacement Fans for G4 MDD?

[Luke Rademacher]

THATS THE NAME... Verax!

I remember it now... Verax had some cooling solutions for several MDD  
G4 problems.

Thanks To Jonny for info...

Whoever asked the question... Use Jonny's suggestion.

I will have to goto Verax and see if they still offer any items for  
my own MDD G4 still.

Peace,

Luke Rademacher
