G4 867 fan noise

Anyone here do any mods to quiet down the ultra noisy G4 867? I saw that Apple released an upgrade offer for the MDDs, but mine's a QuickSilver.
 
You sure there's not something wrong with it?! Compared to the MDD models, my Quicksilver runs very quietly. There is a bit of a whirr, but I have 3 hard drives on the go. Nothing like as bad as the DualG4s we have at work. Make sure its all dust-free inside and there's nothing blocking any air-flow paths, including underneath.
 
Well maybe it's louder than I would expect an Apple computer to be. I'll see if anything is blocking the airways. I think it's just the power supply itself. It surprises me that the Dell I have at work is almost silent. Apple could have put more care into this.
 
My Quicksilver 733MHZ is loud to the point that is very annoying. The only problem is that I have no others to compare it too, so I don't know if it is normal or not, or whether the noise has increased over time.
