Absolutely, recently purchased a MDD and while unpacking it a dust bunny about
the size of a mouse (the rodent) fell out.
When I opened the MDD up the inside was really dusty. Before I attempted to
start it up, I blew all the internals out with the shop's air compressor. Now
it is nearly as quiet as a cat that only makes noises when it needs to; you get
the idea.
Look for a bunch of dust below the Garth Vader grill and also the dust in and
around the power supply. And clean out all the dust you can find --glen

I have been able to peel back the sticker in the center of the hub very
carefully and a little drop of olive oil will usually do it. Not all the fans
have the sticker.

My MDD was not quiet even after a good cleaning. In fact it was so
noisy, it was uncomfortable to use it. I finally found a "Silent" fan
to replace the main fan inside the dual 1.25GHz G4 MDD. It was only
about 3/4 as many CFM's as the original fan, but made a huge
difference in the sound level. I removed the PSU fans and ran them
outside the computer, but found that they did not produce much noise,
so I put them back into the PSU and left them in my MDD. I did not
check to see how noisy the small case fan is, but now after replacing
the big fan that blows through the G4 CPU modules heat sink, I am
satisfied with the noise level and don't mind using my G4 MDD.
My stock Apple Copper heat sink just arrived today, so that should
help keep things cooler than the Aluminum heat sink would have. If
you have an older model MDD that has the Aluminum, or Tin on Aluminum
block heat sinks and you decide to get a "Silent" fan like I did, I
would suggest that you also obtain an Apple Copper heat sink that came
installed on the dual 1.42GHz G4 PowerMac MDD model. When looking for
a quiet or "Silent" fan to replace the main fan in your MDD, check the
CFM's and get one that has a number as close to the stock fan's CFM
number, with the lowest sound number (db's).
Good Luck,

It seems likely. I have/had four external Firewire harddisks and only
my old one with an Oxford controller would boot my MDD. Two Diginote
cases have Initio controllers which won't boot my Mac and my newest
Freecom SATA dock which has eSATA, FireWire 400 and 800 plus USB will
also boot my MDD - this one also has an Initio controller albeit a
newer one. The Oxford case (model Pleiades with the G5 design) burnt
its power supply spontaneously as did two other same cases of a
friend, a design fault apparently.
I can make a CCC copy of my system volumes to a Diginote. That CCC
copy is bootable when I clone it back to another internal/bootable
disk it will boot my Mac - but not directly from the Diginote. So it
must be the controller.
Before I bought my Freecom dock I asked their helpdesk if it would
boot my MDD G4. Even the help couldn't tell me if their dock would
boot a Mac. So I went online and looked into some fora with product
reviews and found positive results with Mac users. Then I bought the
dock. Works like a charm and accepts 3.5 and 2.5 inch drives.
Good luck, Jörg.
