Maybe except the Apple Cube...
Okay, I thought about attacking the whining noise too:
1. Unsolder the transformer
2. surround its pads with wax or grease
3. put it under vacuum and seal it with any liquid laquer or epoxy resin
4. vent with air and every cavity should be filled with whatever was used
(its a shame that Apple didn't do that!!!)
5. resolder the transformer and cross your fingers...
I was so close to try this but I broke the glass dome of my home vacuum
equipment ;-(
