Noisy computer fans

[roman]

I bought an isomac for my noisy G3. I'm disappointed. But what I want is info on attacking the source of the noise. I've had recommendations to get a new power supply fan from pcpowercooling.com but I think that's just for PC's not macs. Any ideas/experience. Much appereciated.
Peace.

I finally put my machine in another room. 25 foot keyboard and monitor cables are no problem. Good luck.

..another room....it's the only way to go...

yep...another room-definitely!

yeaph another room!!!!

mixing without the noise of coolingfans and hardisks is a new experience.

i even extended my scsi to 10 m(about 30ft) without any problems.
now still have my cd-burner, cd-rom and akai nextt to me. thats to say this is the mac scsi-bus. the protools-drives work on an adaptec card.

peace and have fun

You can replace the fans. Panaflo brand fans are extremely quiet. I believe they come in all sizes, but not possitive. So replace the case and power supply fan. (although that might void the warrenty)

And of course moving the computer to anotherh room/closet help alot also.

I put my PC in another room
with radio keyboard mouse, there's only the monitor and audio leads to bring in

beware - some monitor extension leads are not good enough, and blur the picture,
especially with higher resolutions and refresh rates
