[Cool Stuff] Powermac G4 MDD cooling and noise reduction « Cool Stuff: Well, after opening my computer up it’s clear than another 120mm SilenX fan could easily fit in front of the power supply and a simple rectangular piece of plastic will force all the air it puts out into the PSU (and maybe a couple more pieces to make sure). I’d probably remove the fan so that it would more easily get colder air, but the main point here is that with the 120mm fan you would get 18db for the PSU pushing 90CFM through which is MORE than the stock fans do together.
