You should be aware that the MDD models are EXTREMELY noisy. I've got a couple that have been fine for video editing but we've decided to swap them to studio use. There was a free PSU exchange program from Apple in 2003, but other than that we're looking to buy the Verax cooling kit:

which is about £180 per computer. Without this (or something similar - like a sealed / cooled rack) the machines are pretty much unusable for serious music production IMHO.
