    I would ask your local reseller; there where you bought it.

    In my dual Ghz SlowSilver (tm).....



    The machine is okay when it's first turned on.....but after 30 minutes of use the CPU fan starts to kick in and it will not stop until I shut down the machine.....



    I think this is normal since the cpus are VERY hot.....

    I have a QS 867 from 2001, and the fan runs the same from start-up to shut-down or sleep.

    I found out by Apple that the fan runs all the time. I solve the problem and took it back and ordered a Powerbook. Im keeping my CUBE until they fix the sound issue in the Power Macs..javascript: x()Thanks for the help
