Out of curiosity, how hard is it to do?
I've got a real aversion to noise, it gets on my nerves something wicked! So I was considering building an Ultra thick pc with some silicon pads etc, to help reduce the noise.
Since I'm not bothered by cosmetics that much, would MDF (painted etc) be sufficient, or is there a better material? I'm sure Steel would be good, but 3" steel would be moderately expensive.
Is it a viable plan?
