THIS OFFER EXPIRES JUNE 30TH.

From apple site (hidden, and known to me only by the graciousness of the IRC's own meaculpa):

Power Mac G4 Power Supply Exchange Program Announcement

The Power Mac G4 Power Supply Exchange Program offers owners of Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) computers the option of reducing the operating acoustic level of their computers by exchanging their original power supplies and system fans for new, quieter versions. Participation in the Power Supply Exchange Program is optional.

The Power Supply Exchange Program kit is available at no charge, with a shipping and handling fee of US$19.95 or equivalent local currency. The kit contains the following items:

etc.

Helpful hint: my invoice from tekserve had an S in front of the serial number. If you know you have the mirrored door g4 and it says you don't qualify, try again and make sure serial is correct (in my case i had to drop the first letter).

And remember THIS OFFER EXPIRES JUNE 30TH. There are limited quanities so I'm not sure I'm gonna get one but it's worth a shot. Apple is still not admitting these machines sound like jet engines but at least they are pandering to our whimsy. And that's why I still love them.
