Default AcoustiPack Fitting. Photos!
So to precurse, I ordered some sound dampening material to drown out a few more precious decibels and thought I'd share the fitting experience. Case is an Antec Sonata III.

Before you comment, yes, overkill FTW.



Naked!







This post was bought to you by Kirin! Official beer of.. my inglorious modding.







Top of the case, upside down.









Behind the HDD bay.





Upgrades and case door.



Bottom of the case.







Backing plastic was left on over the door latch to allow free movement.



That's it. Peace out.

Yes it does, although it's hard to measure exactly how well.

Probably the biggest comparison I can make is pulling the door off and noting the diffrence, it's definitely quieter even compared to the door on without foam.

EDIT: That didn't sound right.

What I mean is that the door on with the foam is noticeably quieter than the door on without it.

i used it as well, mainly for cable management then sound dampening, but I also installed a fan controller and new fans so it is hard to tell how much the material made a difference

Oh whoops.. I nuked them. Will fix tonight.

EDIT: Or I could just undelete them now. Dropbox is amazing!

I never did find the camera for final shots of the inside. I'll try fix that also.
