Case Linning / Acoustical Sound Damping

Cr8or

What linning would yea use do dampen the sound from inside your case (of fans heatsinks and genral noise)?

All i have found so far is Acoustical Damping Sheets but there quite expensive.

Its usually easier to just change over to quiet fans and hard disk enclosures. Try quietpc.com if this tickles your fancy. It isn't too cheap though - aoubt STG40 for the power supply, STG20 for the processor fan and STG20 for the hard disk enclosure.

In all fairness though, its good stuff - I use all three on my Gateway PC (For anyone who's never heard a Gateway, they sound like jet engines), and consider it money well spent.

Its still not totally silent though.

Cr8or use dynamat , its for sound deadning in cars and will drastically reduce the noise the exits from your pc

I've more fans inside these systems than you could shake a stick at, personally i find the jet engine effect on boot rather invigorating.
After that the speakers kick in and my ears get tickled (rather loud music takes over)

Just a quickie: wouldn't the dampening inside the case rise the temperature?
Also, wouldn't oiling the fans help a bit?

yep it would and ive done it on all the fans (but not my heatsink) the problem is that the sound from the heatsink alone is to much.

Also it dosent bring the tempature up that much.
