My last post isn't aimed at you Macnoid per say, it's just a lot of guys complain about noise where there really isn't any... your case is different, you got a lemon... insist on a new machine.

Quote: Originally posted by ipodandimac so call apple and complain. i'm sure a firmware upgrade will fix this problem. i mean there is obviously something different between your 2.5 G5 and mine, cause I cant even hear mine right now at all (not…

Quote: Originally posted by macanoid? the thing I'm surprised about is that possibly the 2.5's are simply overclocked 2.2's/2.3's, hence the heat problems. that too doesn't surprise me (much) as the Memory in my Nvidia 6800 is also over-clock…

Quote: Originally posted by slughead If you get a new DVD, give us the guy's name so we can do the same. They delayed my order 60 days. I paid over $3000 for my computer. They owe me a working product. In the meantime, I've found a way to m…

Glad I wasn't the only one... and keep in mind, I did the driver install first and that wasn't my problem... it was when I went to do a disk repair using my CD ROM that all hell broke loose.. So, I hope you called them like I did and demand a so…
