Hi Bob,

Do you remember a month or two ago when I asked you for some advice
on quietening my machine ?

Well, I've done it !  I went to Clark Rubber and had a poke around.
They had some corrugated foam rubber which is about 2.5" high and
would have been perfect except that the case wouldn't fit with it.

I asked him about getting some made with a 1" height and he in turn
asked the factory. Lo and behold, they did it for me. I've just
finished lining my case with it and it works a treat. The only noise
I can hear now (other than my tinitus) is the horizontal output stage
in my monitor.

If anybody else is interested in making their PC quieter, I suggest
that they trundle down to their nearest Clark Rubber store and ask
them to order in some of their Sound Deadening Foam with a 1" height.

I bought a sheet of the stuff for $45 which was sufficient to do my
mini-tower and Patricia's Full tower. I've got more than enough left
over to do the desk-top which will become the file server. The trick
is to line the entire case with it. That means pulling off the front
panel and lining it as well. The only part of my case which isn't
lined or covered is the small part at the rear where the fan is, but
you really can't hear it when everything else is properly lined.
Well, you can hear it a little bit but it is much softer than the
rest of the background noise.

Regards, Brenton
