Bungee Mod Akasa Eclipse

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has bungee modded their hard drives in an akasa eclipse, either still using the hdd cage or removing it and bungee mounting them in front of the front case fan.

Im interested in doing this, it would be a total of 3 hard drives, and it would be my first attempt at doing this mod.

If anyone has done this could you post some pictures to show your setup and how you did it; as much help and examples of this is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Mark

So has no-one tried this in their akasa eclipse? Suspending the hard drives in the 5.25 bays or suspending them where the hard drive cage is.

Im very interested in doing it; since I replaced my 5 hard drives for 3x 500gb Samsung HD501LJ my machine is louder for some reason, what i believe to be caused by any or all of the 3 things

1) hard drive noise/vibrations
2) PSU fans/vibrations
3) resonance/vibrations from the case itself i.e. sidepanels.

Id like to get my machine as quiet as possible as it was the reason of upgrading to this case from my Lian Li PC60.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Have it done with 2 (of 3) of my hard drives in my current case. Works great at decreasing resonation noise.

How did you do it, mounted in 5.25 drive bay?

well heres my attempt, hope this helps. Need to replace the cardboard spaces for rubber spaces, but does a decent job

replaced the cardboard with tie wraps underneath each clip, works a treat.
