hey guys, just a niggling issue, trying to find an effective way to have the pump secured to the case chassis but also isloated from vibrations and noise created by the pump. it seems every solution i use to secure it always transmits and amplifys the noise through the chassis.
i understand i'm never going to get a perfect solution, but what is the most effective way you guys have found.

Edit* i'm currently usding a sticky foam pad, however, it isnt strong enough to hold the pump in place over time it always works loose.

I think you want something like:
Phobya Noise Destructor

... Google it
 
The first post and it looks like the answer to my issue already.
Thanks! thats why i love these forums.

Will grab one of those, at that price its worth a shot!
 
My pumps are suspended below tube reservoirs by the tube only and do not make contact with the case, apart from a tiny bit of foam behind them out of sight to square them up against the mobo tray. Can't hear them at all. Pumps don't really have to be fixed to anything if the tube can be used to support it.

i considered this but i had horrible visions of finding the pump lying at the bottom of the case in a pool of water, but i'm sure with some good quality compression fittings this just wouldnt happen, i'm still going to order that foam dampner but i may give the suspended pump a go first, if i'm not happy will just use the foam.
 
I've got to revisit my pump placement....

I fixed it with just velcro.... it's by far the noisiest thing in my case and far too noticable.
