I have a Power Mac G4 (Model m8493). It was free so I'm not willing to dump any large amount of money into it but when I turned it on for the first time one of the fan's sounded like a lawnmower with a stick caught in it. The fan is located behind the power supply in a 4-screw metal case. I am assuming it is the "case fan" but it seems like I have to remove the power supply to get to it so I'm not positive about that. It seems to be the 120MM size. I've read a-lot about this online and the replacement seems relatively easy if it is the case fan.
If anyone could help my out by telling me if I am correct in thinking this is the case fan and also if there is a good fan to replace it. Right now I am eyeing the Thermaltake A2018 120mm Blue LED Case Fan.
Lastly, I've seen a-lot of "how to's" on replacing the fan in the mirrored door G4 but not this version.
Any tips on replacement technique would be helpful as well.
Thanks!
