hello there.ive built a 2nd pc by using the nzxt 340 and hell was it a nightmare to build in.anyway behind the case were you install the hdd,i noticed there is no anti vibration grommets but i installed my 3.5 seagate barracuda 1tb hdd anyway and tightened it properly directly to the metal frame.now i as i use this pc theres pretty fair amount of vibration which is audible from the case. and all tho im not bothered by the sound im abit concerned about the hdd its self.so the way i installed the hdd inside this case could this cause damage to the hdd or shorten its life span?i dont really mind the noise btw.
