HDD Acoustic Silencers

[bluetech]

I would like to get my hands on some HDD Acoustic Silencers because when the HDD is aggressivly accessed (i.e during a defrag or decompiling (i.e installs / unraring).


I would love to get them from here but I can't seam to find them anywhere. I have seen these http://www.rbmods.com/Articles/Nexustek/Disktwin/1.php.

I have:

HDD's:
Western Digital Caviar RE 320GB 3200YS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Western Digital Caviar RE 320GB 3200YS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Western Digital Caviar RE 160GB 1600YS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM

Case:
CoolerMaster Ammo 533 Aluminum (No PSU) - Silver

Will the case be OK with these as they have funney attachments inside (i.e not screw fit but a slot in and lock into place mount for 5.25"). Further more if it is possible, what could I set up to keep the disks cool.

Thanks for reading, please reply if you have any comments / suggestions.

OcUK used to sell Silentmaxx enclosures at ~£30 for each so not cheap but apparantly very effective both at cooling (essentially a big aluminium block heatsink) and at quietening the drives so they might be worth searching out.

I've got both Silentmaxx and Xilence ones, they're both essentially the same design and pretty effective are reducing noise.

Ive had a silentmaxx before with a raptor inside and it was almost quiet.

Thanks for your replies. My only concern is the slot loading mechanism for 5.25" drives. Will this cause any problems?
