Why not?
Because you're NOT retarded and would rather just buy a used G5 to replace it with.
Because you want to send Grim your processor because he's having a horrible week which started with the processor in his MDD frying and leaving him stranded on the case-free ATXG4 test model running at 466 Mhz and it's driving him insane...

Why not, it follows with your normal purchasing strategy.

Yes, you prefer spending ridiculous amounts of money to fix problems quickly and safely. This fits that strategy.

I tried to explain my reasoning.
Do you think spending money and fixing problems are somehow exclusive? It seems that the Verax kit is the best fix for this situation. I'm open to alternatives, though. Can you provide any suggestions?

For $200 it still isn't that quiet. A G5 will be a lot quieter or any model G4. It isn't like they make the thing silent like a cube or iMac G3/G4. Also, I don't think you will get anything more durring resale for it. Just seems like a waste.

[quote Greg the dogsitter]Why 2? Makes the MDD silent(-ish?), so MG doesn't have to listen to it scream all day.
You live with MacGyver? I'd think he'd be able to fix it with whatever is at hand!
