RE: Silencing MCE Hard drive
Was it actually the drive that was noisy, or the case-borne vibration?
In my
experience it's the latter which is far worse.
My current case has rubber mounts around the screws (hole is over-sized
with
a special grommet and long-reach screws). The only thing you can hear is
the
faint "ticking" of the head movement when up close.

Subject: [ukha_d] Silencing MCE Hard drive
My Vista Media Centre box trashed it's 400GB SATA drive with all my
recording on it last week (Doh!).
It's an off the shelf beige-box and has always been a noisy fecker. When
taking the drive out I noticed the system dive is a 7,200 RPM
"Barracuda".
Presumably it's not a good idea to try and put this into an enclosure to
try
and silence it?
