Sure seems like it wouldn't isolate the vibrations as well as something elastic, but give it a try. You've got nothing to lose but time and the cost of a shoelace. It' may be perfectly satisfactory to you, and it certainly solves the only negative issue I've ever seen with elastic suspension.

Bummer man. I'm currently running about 5 or 6 of their 500GB 5400rpm 2.5" drives in my systems. It's my favorite HDD ever. Better stock up on them when Fry's runs a slae...

As a laptop user, I can't imagine having the trackpad built in like that. I've played with a few laptops that have a flush trackpad that is textured slightly differently than the surrounding palmrest and these are a serious pain in the ass to use. This completely invisible HP version would be even w...

Very cool! I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be interested in seeing some still pics of this build, as well as some written details about it's construction.

Is the OEM fan on the motherboard operational?

What temps are you getting with and w/o the added 80mm external fan?

Yes, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

And since it seems we have to be PC these days, Happy Kwanzzaa, Happy Festivus, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Winter Solstice to everyone else! Apologies to anyone I may have forgotten....

External enclosures haven't really changed much over the past few years. I'd search this forum for older posts and see what's recommended. Here's a couple of useful, newer threads: http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=59719 http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t...

Well, this thread is starting to go in a great direction!

I highly suggest knocking off the snide comments if you don't want this thread locked/deleted....

Feel free to have more of a go at Justin Beiber though, you get a free pass from me.

I heartily second this sentiment! Thanks guys!

Does "tinkering" mean that you're definitely planning on adding some alternate themes? If you're wavering, my vote would be "Please add additional themes".

Naw, I don't. Course that's 'cause I'm using IBM Thinkpad keyboards. :) hang on a mo.. I doubt one could just take this keyboard IBM thinkpad 600 http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/2763/02k4785.jpg and use it on the dell X1, can you? can you be more specific about changing the keyboard.. compatibil...

I use a hand-built intake duct that runs from the front of the case to the PSU. Let the PSU pull in it's own isolated air supply without the need for additional fannage or external case mods.

I ended up more impressed with the noise characteristics of the 5K500.B (HTS545025B9A300) so I'm planning to buy a small bunch of them to build some workstations. Please do tell if anyone has experienced issues with them or has heard stories about many of them failing in the wild. I'm using the 2 p...

Knock off the juvenile crap right now. If you want to be pissy and argue, do it in private via email, or set up a duel or something. Keep it off these boards please.

Try PMing MikeC and see if that helps.

Ones I've seen in action are far from quiet. They sound just like any other box fan, and they cost hundreds of dollars.

I'd rephrase that to: "as rubber bands will fail over a fairly short period of time".
