Default Stretch Magic for suspending and silencing HDDs
So I've been looking for ways to cut down on the noise, and stumbled across a thread about suspending hard drives inside 5.25" bays using stretchy material like the Antec 150.
OK Time for the finished pics!





More pics of my silent Lian Li PC build here (it's even for sale!)
Just thought I'd share, maybe build my reps up, ya know?

So how exactly did you go about doing this, and did it silence it that much?

That looks like a really good idea as long as it doesn't dry out or stretch over time. Nice find.

You can do it with high quality rubber bands, too.

You would have to cut them in most cases to get them through the holes...

The reason to use this particular product is that unlike rubber bands and elastic, this stuff never dries up & cracks. That's what they say on the other forums at least. Can't wait to try myself.

Is it just me, or from the pic, it seems that the drive isn't suspended at all. Or if it is, not by much (few mm)
