Yippee! After what seemed like everyone and their dog ranting about their new power supply and fan replacement for the MDD G4's, I was getting depressed. I ordered mine within a few minutes of announcement, but yet didn't receive it when it seemed everyone else had theirs. But today it finally arrived! I would have liked to blame Apple, Microsoft, or the alignment of the planets, but it was a lame error on the order that was partially to blame. (I put the wrong expiration date on the credit card)

My biggest complaint...well, actually, my only complaint about the MDD G4's was the jet engine noise. Sure, it was still not too bad compared to some of my friends PCs, but the noise level had always been one of my bragging rights. I loved my quiet macs.

So after about 40 minutes or so, I had the "out with the old, in with the new" completed. Fairly painless process which impressed me with the attention to detail that goes into a design such as the MDD G4's. Quite the compact and tight fitting package. So anyway, I fired it up and lo and behold, it's ultra quiet!! I have two hard drives in it, and they are by far the loudest component now.

Thanks to a unexpected, yet much needed, replacement program from Apple, I'm able to work in peace again. Aaahhhhh....

Oh and iTunes 4, new iPods, and iTunes Music Store all look very cool. Silence was good while it lasted, but time to crank up some exclusive U2. :)
