I adopted a Dual 1Ghz G4 mirror doors server a while back, through in a Highpoint Raid card and 4 750GB drives. So my RAID5 is humming along nicely. But i recently moved and now the server has to live in the living room and not the basement and this thing is LOUD. So i had some questions

1. I foud instructions regarding replacing the fans with quieter ones. Should I?
2. HEAT - The thing idles at about 115-125 degrees. How can i improved that, or is it ok?
3 Migration: If i were to get a PowerMac G5 would i be able to just move the RAID card and 4 drives into the new computer? The card is compatible w/ PCI-X and PCI. The PM G5's are more quiet if i recall and have much better airflow.
