I love my G5, but the Radeon 9800 was too loud. I finally came to a solution, and I thought I'd share it for your amusement and information.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Very nice.

Now all I have to do is save up enough money to buy a Dual G5!

It doesn't look bad in person. Certainly no worse that those giant Zallman Heat Pipes some people are suggesting. I leave the side of my G5 closed all the time, so it's really a non-issue for me.
