Vibrations

Juniper · 8 May 2008 at 11:30

Hi,

I've got an Antec Sonata II which I'm mostly happy with, just I've got an annoying vibration on the side panel, which can go from audible abliet annoying, to quite noticeable if the computer is being pushed. I would have thought the most likely culprit is the SATA hard drive. It's currently in the tray with the pre installed grommits, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference if I screw these in quite loose or quite tight.

What things can I do to minimise this, or get rid of it completely as it's driving me mental!

Thanks..

bungee mod the hard drive? ive heard little bits of blu-tack between the case and the side panel help reduce vibrations too

blutacked my eclipse side panel, dotted all the sides and then along where it sits on the case and it has helped a lot.

bungee modding is the best way. I've personally used four rubber o-rings, paperclips and a bit of imagination in the 5" bays to suspend my hard drive, totally eliminated all audible vibrations
