Any suggestions for material to set PC on?

Hi,
So I have a new system I have have assembled myself and I have been working to silence .. but I still have a ways to go! I have a Corsair H80i and corsair "silent" fans... but there is still a hum... My guess is that it's the Corsair pump that is the source of the low hum.. I notice that if I merely tilt the PC Mid tower (It's a Fractal Define R4 case) on to two of its feet (instead of sitting on all 4) , the hum almost disappears!!! I think the hum is being amplified by my Desk! Does anyone have any suggestions for a pad or material I could place the PC on that would eliminate that amplification? The alternative is to put it on the floor, but I confess I like having it handy and don't relish the idea of crawling under the desk to access it.
