    Compare the shapes of the Power supplies on the QS and the MDD and you'll see why this won't work for the QS.

    I remember reading the chrome Power Macs were noticeably noisier than the Quicksilver Power Macs. Certainly more so than the single processor Power Macs like mine--733MHz.



    Nevertheless, there was even complaint about my model. (Any maybe yours?) Perhaps because people were spoiled by the cube and iMacs. I recall hearing about a third party fan that would help. Since I put mine on a floor stand, the noise hasnt been a concern so I didnt persue it. But if I can find a resource, I'll get back to you.
