I have a single 1.8 GHz G5, and when I put it to sleep, it goes to sleep, except for the fans. They run continuously. Heck, I bet they even run when I turn the power off and pull the plug from the wall! Seriously, I can't get them to go to sleep now that I updated to 10.3.5 - what do I do? I'm still somewhat new to Macs as this is less than a year old and my first major problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much for the intelligent reply. Turns out there is an Apple knowledgebase article on this - but no fix posted yet.
