I miss my G4

I sold it 2 years ago ;( But G4's make to much noise... And mirrordrive door is really noisy

I had Quicksilver 867mhz.

Maybe your machine would be even more über with all fans replaced with new silent fans?

But really cool machine

Oh man, I would take you up on this, but the international shipping would be a killer.

New DVD-RAM drive? :mellow:

Why?
DVD RAMs are hard to find and for an extremely niche-type choice makers.
I have a DVD RAM drive, but that's in a Mac OS 9 G3 tower.
Why not a new Super Drive?

As far as Im aware, most new DVD-RW drives also write DVD-RAMs (for the last 4 years or so), and failing that, 99% of them at least read DVD-RAMs.
The main area where this isn't true is with laptop drives. Mine can read, but not write RAMs.

Anyway, it only costs £1 more, if anything...
