No clue, you can PM Cyberdruid about it. He does live in the same state as you so shipping should be cheap.

I would recommend you make sure you have fire retardant foam. I wouldn't want you to start a fire

I'd also be a bit worried about some of that foam on hot components like the vid card, that stuff has a pretty low melting temp and also degrades pretty quickly if consistently exposed to heat.

After i foamed it i played fall out 3 at max for about 5 hours, went and checked all the foam. It looks and feels fine, for now. The foam is only directly touching the hard drives.
Once i order new foam and redo it ill post pics.

Well my computer was just about silent before the foam.
The foam was merely to deaden the high pitched buzz from the motherboard.
In that regard it did its job, however the foam is from the boxing of my 9800gtx and foam from Lowes.

The bungee hard drives made the biggest difference.

Any way say 5% to 10% quieter with the foam.
