How is the noise in the latest revision of the Powermac line. I heard the original quicksilver's referred to as 'quick-hoovers' because they were quite loud...



Is that the case with the new ones (800,933,DP1G) as well?... or are they quieter?... :confused:





thanks

    Rats, I was hoping they could turn down the fans since I heard the new gen g4's were running cooler...



    Thank you... moderators you can close this...

    My dual gigger is as loud as a jet plane when the CPU fan kicks in. Same as the Dual 800 released last year

    Stop shouting at me! :eek:



    You all must be deafened from your noisy fans, and don't realise you are deafening me with your LOUD banter!



    Sorry, I can't help my sensitive hearing - it is down to a slow but fanless iMac!

    Is that a 747 overhead, or my Dual Ghz Quicksilver?

    If you can't stand the noise of the SlowSilver (tm) don't even think about using the Dual Athlon.



    The one that I have is 3x as loud as the SlowSilver (tm)!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

    Im not a pessimist. And Steve hates fans.





    By the by, I just bought a DVD iBook about an hour ago and am using it right now while I watch Start Wars Episode I on it. This is sweet, I can finally retire my 7500.





    happy now
