*Massive* fan (12 inch?)
I was looking at the eMac <a href="http://www.apple.com/emac/specs.html" target="_blank">tech specs</a> page, and noticed the picture on the top right. At first glance, it really reminded me of the kind of a jet engine air intake. Which got me thinking, hypothetically, what if that WAS a huge fan, going very very slowly (say 1 revolution every 6-7 secs)? I'd imagine it'd move plenty of air, and would be really quiet since it's turning so slowly. Thoughts? Would it be feasible?
Perhaps Jobs got the inspiration for the back of the eMac from his <a href="http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0012/images/gulfstreamV.jpg" target="_blank">toy...</a> <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

OOH! If there were a soft LED inside the computer pointing out through the fan blades, that would cast some VERY COOL shadows on the wall.

I have a feeling they would go well with the Flower Power iMacs though... Add some pot and a large, fuel-inefficient van, and you're all set!
What are the specs of the fans in the PM G4 (DP1GHz)? RPM, size, etc?
<strong>True, Eugene. I found that out last night when looking at fans online.

The loudest fan by far is the one blowing onto the CPU. I'm using s 5200 RPM Sunon 60x25 mm fan, but the stock fan is 4500 RPM.
I don't know what the 120 mm fan is rated for, but around 3000 RPM or lower is my guess.
