Re: MDD 'Wind tunnel' PS Fans - Recommended replacements?

I sold my G4 MDD to a company where it has been running OSX server
perfectly
for 2 years. It was one of the later ones but still really noisy by
current
standards. Now it has its own server room to whirr away in where it does
not
disturb anyone !

Cheers andrew
