Quieting a Mirrored Drive Door Power Mac G4
Authored by: richardjenkins on Mar 01, '07 09:13:52AM
Seconded! I have an MDD G4 Dual 1.25, and even after the Apple recall it was a noisy beast. I replaced the power supply fans with a kit from www.veraxfans.com and that halved the noise output.

It was still too noisy so I tried a couple of options but ended up with the same SilenX fan case fan as the original poster. It still makes a bit of noise on hot days, but doesn't make that awful ticking noise the others did. If I could find a way to isolate the fan body from the steel chassis I think I'd get a better result, but it's a bit cramped for that.

Looks like Verax don't do the kit any more and they are expensive, but they're the nicest fans I've ever used.

try putting a bit of padding under the main 120 mm fan too, this might stop some vibrations.
