[llandeloyking]

Akasa Paxmate is quite popular, its usually called sound proofing though

[DecomposingStar]

It can be refered to as acoustic noise reduction aswell...
ahem...

What is it that's noisy? Try opening your case while your PC is on and holding each moving object at its base (obviously dont hold the fan) and see if it quietens it, then try re-seating all the noisy objects.

nothing in particular i'm just in the process of building a new pc,and as i sleep about 4 feet from it i want it absolutely as quiet as possible!!thanks for the help

Get a good case.

Carpet tiles, 25p per square foot from your local carpet superstore. Double sided carpet tape and you're away.

I'm not just whistling dixie here, I actually use this in my HTPC and it does reduce noise considerably

Kustom - AcoustiPack™ though the carpet tiles sound good 2 me. hadn't heard of using them but a good cheap solution.

I'd say thats a better idea than getting ripped off.

Daft as it sounds, mine is actually Axminster in a nice terracotta colour ! And the bits I had left over made a couple of shock absorders for the base unit

no i'm sold on it. think it's a good idea. Another plus is it would certainly kill vibration of components such as water pumps you might mount in the case.

went for the alaska in the end, only 8.57,couldn't be bothered to go looking for carpet,would have if the alaska had been much more than a tenner tho!

Buy some quiet fans aswell, the noise proofing stuff doesn't really do much tbh. (Just google some reviews)
