As many of you may know, I've recently procured a PowerBook G4 Titanium 800MHZ from 128Keaton. It has 512MB of RAM, an 80GB HD, and an Airport card.

I first powered on the machine today as it hadn't come with a charger and I finally was able to borrow one. And to my surprise, it sounds like nails on a chalkboard, if the nails were a screaming bald eagle.

I'd really like to get rid of the coil whine from this machine, is there some shielding I'm missing that's causing this, can I make some shielding, and what can I do to fix this besides "living with it"?
