Tell me about it. I had a MDD PowerMac and eventually built a wooden box to house it, lined with soundproof material, and with a SilentPC fan on the back to extract the heat. Great computer, though. Just not in the same room as your mics.

FWIW, my wooden box idea cost a lot less than £180 for a fan upgrade that honestly won't make as much difference. I also had the Apple fan replacement kit, which didn't do a lot.
