If you want OS9, you may be better of going with a second hand cube.

Well, the problem is that unless something mad happens, the problem is only
going to get worse. As chips get faster they invariably produce more heat
that has to be gotten rid of. The only feasible way to do that at the moment
is with dirty great big noisy fans.

Rest assured though, Apple knows about the problem and is doing everything
possible to fix it.
