Hey,

Where could I find some HDD vibration/noise reduction system to buy? While i'd love to do it myself, i don't quite have time for it atm, and that 3x7200rpm hdd noise is killing me! Main issue is vibration, high pitch doesnt matter so much.

Thank you.

Buy 2 sheets of sorbothane, cut out 6 strips that are 1/2"x1/2"x4" and put 2 at the bottom of your case, then two on top of the first hard drive, then two on top of the second one. So you stack up your HDs on sorbothane. It's the most effective isolation method. Sorbothane doesn't transmit vibrations.

FrozenCPU has hard drive silencers I believe.

If worse comes to worse, go on eBay and search for "HDD silencer" or something :p
