Any one know of a decent thing to make my HDD's tone it down, I have a PC-75 and the HDD's are in the bottom, and its loud as they are next to me, even when they arent in use - any one know of good tips/products to cut the noise?
Thanks :)

Get a silent drive : www.kustom.co.uk
They are ace :)
i really want to keep them where they are in the bottom though, not in the top bit :( - but have to though :(
any more ideas? :)
Gr44, what drives do you have?!
Gordy the silent drives are good yes, but not with the newer 7200 rpm drives... as they get too hot :)
put them on foam :)
I've just got myself one of these for £14 :)

Should sort mine out! I used to have my hdd in a hdd cooler which reduced the noise... noticed the difference from that to a hdd cage. Had to stop using it though cause it didnt match my black widow :)
Run one in there with no probs :)Quote:

just get a silent drive, you dont NEED to put it in the 5 1/2 in bay. I just have mine in the bottom of my case.Quote:

7400, wooo an overclocked hard-drive?! :eek:
I wouldnt risk putting either of those 2 into a silentdrive, people have done but i wouldnt recommend it. Heat kills electronics and hard-drives are one of the most likely thing to fail in a pc...

crosses fingers.
my barracuda has been in mine for ages... and its still going strong.
lol, mine has 2x80mm fans on them at the front, they always cool ;)
but NOISY :/
The easiest thing to do is to check the operating temperature of your hard disk , with the silent drive u get a temperature thang , if its gets above the recommended temps you can return it from memory :)
yer but i quite like having the hdd's there - dont ask why, its just one of those things, meant to be ;)- maybe ill get a hot swap caddy :o *likes that idea more* but i guess they will cook then :(
the Lian Li cases have holes this side of the HDD cage, maybe ill cut them into a square and put some arcylic over it ( no it wont heat them up, or it will be negligable, if you have the same case youll know what i mean ) :)
*ponders*
ooooo had some modding ideas, just need some yellow arylic :D
and some blue led's - but i have plently of those :p ( see sig lol )
btw any one want a pic of 800 or so led's? ( no im not wiring them all up :p )
...I'm waiting ;)Quote:

BTW, I'll be checking out your site the next time I'm after some LEDs - I may be needing a pile of red 'uns pretty soon.
