Quiet Fan For Emac???, noisy G4 eMac Options

[Henry Morris]

Can anybody please suggest a quiet fan system to replace the very noisy fan in my new G4 800 mhz eMac? I upgraded from an iMac and was totally unprepared for the background noise in the new machine, which comes from the fan. Since I do a lot of audio recording, I need to fix this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you Cheama for your respectful consideration of my suggestion :-)

Personally, I could not consider putting my CPU in a different room, that is why I built the sound isolation cabinet for my G4 (3/4" plywood, lined with thickest carpet underlay I could find, grid of 1" holes in bottom near front of cabinet for G4 to "suck" in air, then 2 low noise Papst fans mounted in the back panel to "suck out" the hot air).

My solution works pretty well, but I have indeed read of professional studios putting all their CPUs in different "server" rooms and using various methods of extending video and keyboard connections to their desks. That IS a practical real world solution, just one that may not be practical for home-based systems.
