The MAC-II is a nice machine, but it is too noisy, especially for colleagues
in the same room. Does anyone know how to reduce the noise, e.g. by replacing
the built-in fan with a silent type that is powerful enough to keep the
temperatures low? I tried a (Swiss-made) MICRONEL F70EB 012BN CB-
but temperatures run too high using this fan. For a machine priced this
high one would expect a little less noise.
(P.S. although there are 'no user-servicealble parts' in the power supply,
I'm willing to open it and have done so in the past).

Any suggestions are welcome.
