Hi again Emma,
I'd suspect he won't actually read your reply, as he was likely
responding from comp.sys.mac.hardware (where I initially crossposted to).
Unfortunately, he's far from being a 'new guy', and has some
rather....'interesting' ideas on Mac cooling. Nearly every post from
him revolves around installing massive heat-sinks and having e-SATA
plugs hanging out of the back of Mac Minis - Almost as much use as the
advice given in this thread about removing the power supply completely
from the machine and running with the side door 'just open' to keep it
cool.
I'm getting nearer to a solution, anyway. While the machine will never
be 'silent', I think the replacement of the horrendously noisy hard
drive will remove a large ****tion of the whining noise from my 'old
faithful' MDD machine. On that note, I'll be interested to see how it
handles Leopard in month or two time.
Thanks again, take care.
Andy.
