I saw a site once - can't find it now. The fellow had made his own silent mounts for noisy hard discs as follows.
2 sheets of 5 mm (1/4 inch) aluminium plate, a little wider than the HD. Drill holes at the four corners. Mount HD in between. Bolts through the corner holes to clamp plates down on HD. Stuff foam around the edges. Mount whole assembly on rubber bands. The aluminium dissispates heat while absorbing noise, and the rubber band mounts (a bit excessive IMHO) stop noise being transmitted to the case. Clae. -- "As a net is made up by a series of knots, so everything in this world is connected by a series of knots. If anyone thinks that the mesh of a net is an independant, isolated thing, he is mistaken. It is called a net because it is made up of a series of connected meshes, and each mesh has its place and responsibilities in relation to other meshes." - The Teaching Of Buddha, (c) Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai (Buddhist Promoting Foundation), Tokyo 1966, -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
