Easy, cheap anti-vibration mod

My Lian Li case has 4 rubber feet on the bottom, where it stands on the table. I've got lots of fans and 3 hard drives going at the same time, so it likes to vibrate the table. That also produces noise. What to do?

I grabbed some of those adhesive felt pads you put on the bottoms of chairs that stay on a wood floor, to keep from scratching the wood. I stuck one on each of the 4 rubber feet, stood the case up, and turned it on - much quieter, and the table wasn't shaking nearly as much as it was before.

My Raptor is now much quieter, even during seek times (like when loading up Battlefield 2), and my fans aren't making the table vibrate. And having something soft on the table in between the two hard surfaces really helped out a lot.

Vibration = noise. Less vibration = less noise.

Enjoy.

Sounds dangerous for your wallet. Those felt pads are meant for heavier objects. It would reduce the friction between the case and the table. You should be careful around your computer now.

Why don't you put it on the floor instead of the table?

No space, table is the best place to keep it.



And you don't buy a Lian Li case and light it up just to put it under the table...:roll:
