how can I make my G4 quicksilver quieter?
Hi, I have a G4 800mhz quicksilver, with 2 hd's and a cd burner drive. I just got the machine and I like it a lot but it is so loud. I don't know why it is so loud but I was wondering what I could upgrade in the machine to make it not so loud.

you could try a PCI fan to keep the system cooler. they might work
i dunno about the sound level though...

I tried EVERYTHING to make mine quieter, but in the end I ended up going this route, made it sooooo quiet.
check it out but if you arent looking to do something like that, I recommend swapping all of your fans (even the one in the powersupply) with Silenx fans they are by far the quietest fans on the market. Trust me, I put ALL the 'silent' fans in my quicksilver, and none were as silent as Silenx.

I had the 733, there are a lot of loud fans in that thing. Replacing all of them is a job and a half. I would see about perhaps positioning the machine in the next room or closet or something so its not right next to you. Or buy a Mini

if you have ever built or taken apart computers, replacing the fans is not a big deal.
1 behind the CPU, 1 in the side of the case, and one in the power supply. no biggie.
