How to silence Dual 1.25 G4 PowerMac

[mauka]

Recently moved to a Mac Mini and now I'm looking for a way to silence the loud fans in my old PowerMac Dual 1.25 G4 Mirror Drive Door.

Can't bring myself to just dump it, but I never did like the amount of noise it made.

Has anyone tried water cooling this noise monster?

The verex kits are pretty good. You might manage to find one on ebay if you are lucky.

For watercooling inspirations look: Aqua or you can try Verax "quiet" MDD kit like this
Edit:
dazey was quicker with Verax

How to silence it: Sell it and buy a G5 or Intel machine.

I had a Dual 800MHz.

That thing was a bit loud, lol. I was always stunned when I powered it down and everything got real quiet.

One of the better Macs I've had though. Thing was a champ.

Used it until I upgraded to a dual G5 2.0.

I have just recently replaced my G4. The Verax kit for the power supply and other fans are left over. If you are interested I would sell it, leave me a message.

Thanks for all the advice and help, I decided to move the G4 to my office and use it to test and support the Mac users on our Novell/SUSE network.

Upgraded my 2009 Mini with dual monitors, 4Gigs RAM, 7200 320Gig HD, and a Magic Mouse. Works great and doesn't make a sound.
