And can you hear a pulsing sound that comes (I am not sure) from the 2 main fans in front of the processors ? It makes a kind of "woo woo woo" sound ...

Mac mini speed gain from external FW harddisk ? — #7

You know what, if that works as well as it seems, it would also make upgrading totally easy as plugging in a hard drive. Wow. I was gonna get a FW HD for backup. Maybe I should use…

I was lucky and had a Hitachi 60GB 7200rpm in my Dell laptop. I swapped that drive with the 80GB 4200rpm Mini drive and it made a HUGE difference. I have an emergency copy of OS …

Thanks for the link. From what I understand, that guy spent only $ 50. So I assume he didn't even get a high-performance drive (no specs, that would have been nice). I guess a 720…

I just got my PM dp2.0 yesterday. No chirping that I can detect. I've got the unit on the floor, but fairly close by. The only thing I hear are the disk drives accessing. (I su…

Mac mini speed gain from external FW harddisk ? — #1

I have a Mac mini, with a 80G - 4200 RPM internal HD. Well, *yawn*, as we all know, that drive is rather slow. I was wondering if I could use an external HD with 7200 RPM, hooked …

I'm not convinced that it's quite as simple as just a power supply defect. My new PowerMac didn't chirp at all, but then I had to get the mainboard replaced by AppleCare and now i…

My RevB DP2.0 rarely has it. sometimes when playing QT movies in the preview column. But it has been a while now since I heard a chirp come from it. Nothing has been changed.

I believe this is an issue on most if not all PM G5s. From what I read online, it's the power supply that's making the noise, and it's caused whenever you have Nap mode on. Nap mod…
