Spec me some noise dampening, please!

I've become completely fed up with the vibrations resonating through my Coolermaster HAF 932.

Things have improved a bit since this thread. Re-running some cables and reseating the side panels several times have taken the irritating noise down from a crescendoing buzz to a lower-level (but still annoying) hum.

I'm waiting on the delivery of a resistor cable to 7V my front case fan (all the rest are set in the BIOS to 6V until my system temp rises to the mid-30s - which never actually happens).

As this is a vibration issue, I've been looking at these Acoutsi rubber fan mounts, and these soft anti-vibration case feet.

I've also looked at, but am not sure about (especially for the price), the Acousti sound-absorbing foam blocks for 3.5" and 5.25" bays, and the 3-layer acoustic sheeting.

If anyone could give me any opinions/experiences of these products and/or any other tips on dampening vibration-induced case noises I'd be most grateful. My fans are nice and quiet, but this humming is ruining my desire for a genuinely quiet PC.

Thanks for the replies.

Glad to hear the fan mounts work well. I'll grab myself of them right now. A shame I can't use them on my front case fan (I don't think) because of limited access, but shold still be a good investment by the sounds of it.

Will get a pack of the foam blocks too, now.

Regarding the sheeting: does it have to be applied to the whole of the side panels? This will be a problem with the HAF, because I think I'll only be able to stick it to about a third of the total surface area of the left-hand panel, and perhaps half of the right-hand one. Any idea if it would be effective in those circumstances?
