I found this really awesome product in an article at amdmb.com The problem is the only site I could find that sells it is in England and they have some extremely high prices. (over $230 for an Abit KR7A w/RAID) Site Does anyone else know where else I can get this one? You can use it with 7200rpm hard drives so this is what I need. Thanks
 
How about a link to the article? I saw the product at chillblast and $60 USD for what is pictured is patently insane. Worse, it looks of dubious function to me. Even if the cage reduced noise, the fan would increase it anyway. Surely you can do similar for for free or for a few dollars worth of materials. If you are not adverse to spending big bux on a fre-fab product then an aluminum enclosure such as these would surely be better. Or, if you don't need the swapability just make one out of sheet aluminium scraps from a car or boat fabricator or scrap dealer.
 
Wow. After reading the article my opinion of it is even lower. They falsely claim vibration is the main souce of HDD noise. What a scammy silly product.
 
Also, there is a slight chance of damaging your HDD if you don't have it mounted securely. If it can dance all around the case, then that means the platters might not be moving how they should be. So I've read anyway, cound be wrong.
