Don't want to spoil the fun -- but as long as the computer contains moving parts, it's never gonna be "silent". However, though, you can easily make it quiet enough.

You'll probably find a bunch of nice suggestions below this message soon. At least, that's what I usually get :)

Did you see the sticky at the top of the Storage Forum? Personally I swear by "Aphonos bungee" mount system and would figure it will extend to 3 drives fine (but you probably need to drill out the Lian Li rack?) Alternatively "Ralf's sorbothane" if you cant (/dont want to) remove the drive cage?

yeah, i saw the sticky thats where i got the idea of webbing it in the case...but the apodians(i know the spelling it totally wrong) looks quiet nice :) one problem i see is that the drive bay covers are hooked into where the floppy drive is(where i would have to take out..) so that would be hard to get those things to stay in.

is what i would like to do...i see kind of how he did it

you got the box, then 2 bands in front, 2 in back then twisted and put the hdd's inbetween... if some one has a link with a little more deatil, that woudl be nice... i think that method woudl be the best for my under teh circumstances... one thing.. could i have 2 right next to eachother(horozontally) so i could potentially fit 4? or would that cause problems
