Hard Drive enclosures / quiet harddrive suggestions?

[rms]

Hi, after installing a watercooling setup (love it!) the high-pitched whine of my harddrives is very noticeable and quite annoying! Anyone have suggestions on quieting these down?

i recommend the seagate barracuda IV
the quietest hd around

I've been trying to do the same thing. I've heard coolermaster new hd cooler is rather thick and it has muffled half of the nosie. I don't want to spend $70 on a new HD

i read a review of that coolermaster item, apparently it has its own fan which is quite loud!

look into getting a seagate hard drive.. they are probably the most silent hard drives on the market right now... however, the performance isn't as good compared to maxtor's and western digital's...
